3 Controllers in HA (including also Neutron L3 HA solution) with the following services

The nova-scheduler service, that allocates VMs on the compute nodes.
The cinder-scheduler service, that allocates block storage on the compute nodes.
The glance-registry service, that manages the images and VM templates. The backend for the registry maybe the controller node, or the Object Storage.
The neutron-server service, that manages the VM networks.
The heat-api and engine
The swift-proxy service that manages request to the object storage nodes.
The nova-api service, that exposes the APIs to interact with the nova-scheduler.
