Book Description
This is the fourth edition of the industry-acclaimed OpenStack Cloud
Computing Cookbook, created by four recognized OpenStack experts. It has
now been updated to work with the latest OpenStack builds, using tools
and processes based on their collective and vast OpenStack experience.
OpenStack Open Source Cloud software is one of the most used cloud
infrastructures to support a wide variety of use cases, from software
development to big data analysis. It is developed by a thriving
community of individual developers from around the globe and backed by
most of the leading players in the cloud space today. We make it simple
to implement, massively scalable, and able to store a large pool of data
and networking resources. OpenStack has a strong ecosystem that helps
you provision your cloud storage needs. Add OpenStack's enterprise
features to reduce the cost of your business.
This book will begin by showing you the steps to build up an OpenStack
private cloud environment using Ansible. You'll then discover the uses
of cloud services such as the identity service, image service, and
compute service. You'll dive into Neutron, the OpenStack Networking
service, and get your hands dirty with configuring networks, routers,
load balancers, and more.
You'll then gather more expert knowledge on OpenStack cloud computing by
managing your cloud's security and migration. After that, we delve into
OpenStack Object storage and you'll see how to manage servers and work
with objects, cluster, and storage functionalities. Finally, you will
learn about OpenStack dashboard, Ansible, Keystone, and other
interesting topics.
