# FAQ
## Is this a real OpenStack cloud?
No. It is a **surface-complete API laboratory**: PostgreSQL-backed state,
API-ref-shaped responses, no hypervisor orchestration.
## Which release should I use?
Default **Dalmatian** pack. Switch with `OPENSTACK_SERIES` or the Web UI.
See [api-versions.md](api-versions.md).
## Compose vs Helm?
| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| Local hack / CI on Docker | Compose |
| Cluster + Ingress TLS | Helm ([kubernetes.md](kubernetes.md)) |
## Why so many ports?
OpenStack service catalog expects distinct endpoints. The api-gateway publishes
the [real default port matrix](ports.md) **1:1** (no host remapping).
## Demo cloud wiped my resources
Lifecycle tests and reseed truncate lab tables. Reload with `make seed-demo`.
## Can I point Terraform / Ansible at it?
Yes — use Keystone URL and seeded credentials. Expect lab limitations
(policy, async workflows, Ceph, etc.). See [clients.md](clients.md).
## Where is the Helm chart?
[`helm/openstack-api-simulator`](../helm/openstack-api-simulator) — guide in
[kubernetes.md](kubernetes.md).
