The above sections are the software components/roles that you should setup in

order to have full synnefo funtionality.  After successful installation, you

will have the following services running:

 * Identity Management (Astakos)

 * Object Storage Service (Pithos)

 * Compute Service (Cyclades)

 * Image Service (part of Cyclades)

 * Network Service (part of Cyclades)

and a single unified Web UI to manage them all.

It is really useful nodes to have fully qualified domain names. The installation

needs additional CNAMEs, and therefor in the following section we will guide you

though how to setup a DNS node so that all IP's (internal/public) will resolve to

specific FQDN. `/etc/hosts` could be used for simplicity too.

In the following sections we will refer to nodes based on their roles. To this

end here we define the following roles:

 * ``synnefo`` (all available nodes for Synnefo components)

 * ``backend`` (all available VMCs - nodes to host VMs)

 * ``astakos``

 * ``cyclades``

 * ``pithos``

 * ``cms``

 * ``mq`` (message queue)

 * ``db`` (database)

 * ``ns`` (name server)

 * ``client`` (end-user)

Please note that all these roles can be "played" by the same node, but for the

sake of scalability is highly recommended to deploy Synnefo on more than 6 nodes,

each with different role(s). In setup synnefo and backend nodes are the same

ones.
