Overview of this book

OpenStack Open Source software is one of the most used cloud infrastructures to support software development and 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. It is simple to implement, massively scalable, and can 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 show you the steps to build up a private cloud environment. At the beginning, you'll 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 ML2, networks, routers, and Distributed Virtual Routers. You’ll then gather more expert knowledge on OpenStack cloud computing by managing your cloud's security and migration. After that, we delve in to OpenStack Object storage and how to manage servers and work with objects, cluster, and storage functionalities. Also, as you go deeper into the realm of OpenStack, you'll learn practical examples of Block storage, LBaaS, and FWaaS: installation and configuration covered ground up. Finally, you will learn OpenStack dashboard, Ansible and Foreman, Keystone, and other interesting topics.

Introduction

OpenStack Networking is the Software Defined Networking (SDN) component of OpenStack and its project name is Neutron. With SDN, we can describe complex networks in a secure multitenant environment that overcomes the issues often associated with the Flat and VLAN OpenStack networks. In OpenStack, SDN is a pluggable architecture, which means we are able to plug in and control various switches, firewalls, and load balancers and achieve various functions such as Firewall-as-a-Service. All this is defined in software to give you fine-grained control over your complete cloud infrastructure.

OpenStack Networking is a replacement for the networking component that is available with OpenStack Compute itself: nova-network. While nova-network is still seen as more robust and available for use, many people are deploying OpenStack Networking in production. Nova-network is expected to be deprecated in an upcoming release of OpenStack.

The following figure shows the OpenStack architecture as...
