Summary


Our journey of mastering the OpenStack cloud system has come to an end. In the course of this book, you learned how to plan and design the general OpenStack architecture, deploy and manage your cloud using automation tools, such as Chef (covering more incubated projects for storage), as well as decide and use a network in OpenStack.
