# 1.1. Configure your Machine

In this section, we describe how to configure a machine (physical or virtual) to be used as the deployment, execution, and development environment for the ETSI TeraFlowSDN controller. Choose your preferred environment below and follow the instructions provided.

NOTE: If you already have a remote physical server fitting the requirements specified in this section feel free to use it instead of deploying a local VM. Check 1.1.1. Physical Server for further details.

Virtualization platforms tested are: - 1.1.1. Physical Server - 1.1.2. Oracle Virtual Box - 1.1.3. VMWare Fusion - 1.1.4. OpenStack - 1.1.5. Vagrant Box

Other virtualization environments might be used; in that case, you will need to adapt these instructions to your particular case. If you want to contribute with details on how you used other hypervisors or platforms, contact the TFS team through Slack.
