OpenStack Lightspeed Operator documentation

OpenStack Lightspeed is an AI-powered assistant, tailored for Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift (RHOSO), that lives inside the OpenShift web console and answers questions in plain English — grounded in real documentation, not guesses.

Ask it something like “How do I create a VM using the OpenStack CLI?” or “Why would a Nova compute service show as down?” — see Available Features for more.

You don’t need an existing RHOSO deployment to try it — an OpenShift cluster and an LLM you can point it at is enough (see Quickstart).

Important

This is a community release. Support is provided upstream only, via GitHub Issues — there is no separate commercial support channel for this project:

• lightspeed-operator issues

• lightspeed-rag-content issues

• lightspeed-mcps issues

See Troubleshooting for what to check, and what to include, before filing an issue.
