Verify Access

To use COU you need to have access to a Charmed OpenStack cloud, which is deployed using Juju. COU uses Juju credentials to access the OpenStack cloud, so accessing the cloud with Juju is mandatory.

COU requires at minimum write permission to the target model (see User access levels for more information). To verify your current user’s model-scoped access level, run the following Juju command and look for your OpenStack model.

juju models

Installation

Install the COU snap from the Snap Store:

sudo snap install charmed-openstack-upgrader
