Overview of this book

Most organizations are seeking methods to improve business agility because they have realized just having a cloud is not enough. Being able to improve application deployments, reduce infrastructure downtime, and eliminate daily manual tasks can only be accomplished through some sort of automation. Packed with real-world OpenStack administrative tasks, this book will walk you through working examples and explain how these tasks can be automated using one of the most popular open source automation tools—Ansible. We will start with a brief overview of OpenStack and Ansible and highlight some best practices. Each chapter will provide an introduction to handling various Cloud Operator administration tasks such as creating multiple users/tenants, setting up Multi-Tenant Isolation, customizing your clouds quotas, taking instance snapshots, evacuating compute hosts for maintenance, and running cloud health checks, and a step-by-step tutorial on how to automate these tasks with Ansible.

OpenStack supporting components

It is similar to any traditional application, there are dependent core components that are pivotal to the functionality but not necessarily the application itself. In the case of the base OpenStack architecture, there are two core components that will be considered as the core or backbone of the cloud. The OpenStack functionality requires access to an SQL-based backend database service and an Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) software platform. Just as with most things OpenStack related there are the most commonly used/recommended choices adopted by the OpenStack community. From a database perspective, the common choice will be MySQL and the default AMQP package is RabbitMQ. These two dependencies must be installed, configured, and functional before you can start an OpenStack deployment.

There are additional optional software packages that can also be used to provide further stability as a part of your cloud design. The information about this management software and OpenStack architecture details can be found at the following link:
