Doug Hellmann c7bfdbb44f split install guide into separate files by OS
Provide a script for interpreting the "only" directives and splitting
the existing content up into standalone files for each OS to make it
easier for project teams to copy the parts they need into their own
project documentation trees without requiring separate platform builds.

The files have been hand-edited to pass the niceness check and to allow
the install guide to build.

The script for building the guide has been changed to not build separate
copies per OS.

Install and configure a compute node

This section describes how to install and configure the Compute service on a compute node. The service supports several hypervisors <hypervisor> to deploy instances <instance> or VMs <virtual machine (VM)>. For simplicity, this configuration uses the QEMU <Quick EMUlator (QEMU)> hypervisor with the KVM <kernel-based VM (KVM)> extension on compute nodes that support hardware acceleration for virtual machines. On legacy hardware, this configuration uses the generic QEMU hypervisor. You can follow these instructions with minor modifications to horizontally scale your environment with additional compute nodes.

Note

This section assumes that you are following the instructions in this guide step-by-step to configure the first compute node. If you want to configure additional compute nodes, prepare them in a similar fashion to the first compute node in the example architectures <overview-example-architectures> section. Each additional compute node requires a unique IP address.
