Openstack is a multi-tenant virtualization-platform, and as a user at NTNU you can get access if you need virtualization resources. Through the openstack platforms at NTNU you can order either one of:
- A single virtual machine with an operating system of your choice
- A full openstack project where you are able to create networks, routers and virtual machines at your own will.
Getting access or help
In general, all users should use our contact forms in NTNU Hjelp. There is one form for getting access, and one form for getting help or reporting issues. With the forms available, you will get in touch with the appropriate team.
Getting started
If you just recieved a full openstack-project, and does not really know how to proceed, we would like to recommend one of our initial-setup guides:

Installations
At NTNU there are a couple of openstack installations. This wiki documents how the following installations are set up, and can be used:
- skyhigh.iik.ntnu.no - IIK's installation in Gjøvik. Used for education and research activities. (Openstack version: Zed)
- skylow.iik.ntnu.no - IIK's testing s testing and development platform. (Openstack version: Antelope (2023.1))
- stack.it.ntnu.no quick start - NTNU IT's general purpose openstack cloud.
Openstack services
Trough openstack we can provide you:
- Either a single virtual machine with an operating system of your choice
- or a full openstack project where you are able to create networks, routers and virtual machines at your own will.
What you want is entirely up to you.
Getting access
As the installations have different administrators, the contact points differs a little depending on which installation you would like to access.
IIK and Gjøvik:
The department IIK (in Gjøvik and in Trondheim) and all other departments in Gjøvik can contact Eigil or Lars Erik for access to the skyhigh platform. This can be done via NTNU Hjelp or via e-mail. In any case we need the following information:
- Who are you, and what do you need openstack for.
- How much resources do you need? Give an estimate on how many CPU's, how much RAM and how much storage you would need.
- How long do you need these resources for?
- How should access to your project be administered?
- Are you the only user who should have access?
- Do you want to administer access yourself?
We are happy to help you out, so if you are a bit uncertain what you want it is fine. We will then figure things out together.
Others:
All others are encouraged to request access to NTNU IT's installation. See how to get in touch with them here.
