OpenStack Requirements#

CyberRangeCZ Platform requires several OpenStack resources and components, that can be installed or configured only by the OpenStack administrator.

OpenStack Version#

CyberRangeCZ Platform is deployed and tested with OpenStack 2025.1 (Epoxy), the release the CRCZP lite deployment installs by default. OpenStack 2025.2 (Flamingo) has been reported to work as well.

Older releases, from Train to Yoga, were tested in the past. Newer releases are likely to work too.

OpenStack Services#

CyberRangeCZ Platform requires the following OpenStack services:

  • Neutron with user-defined internal networks and floating IPs (provider networks are not supported)
  • Keystone with Application Credentials

For every instance of CyberRangeCZ Platform you also need two floating IP addreses from Open Stack public pool to access the platform.

Floating IP addreses need to be unrestricted on any firewalls.

For OpenStack deployment, it is recommended to use open source project Kolla Ansible, which supports all CyberRangeCZ Platform requirements.
