Finding the right backup solution can be a complicated task if it is not handled from the very beginning of the private cloud design phase. Typically, backup and recovery options can be seen from different levels that vary from storage, filesystem, to application level. Most of the open source solutions in the community might help to achieve this goal, but that would require a junction of tool sets and a proper automation stack. For this reason, it is necessary to pinpoint to a simple and efficient backup and recovery solution that ensures the safety of critical production data. Prior to the Havana release, the OpenStack ecosystem had one key operational gap to provide a simple backup solution to the world that needed tweaking, home-made tools. One common option with some extensions was using heavy snapshots to compute instances and block...

Overview of this book
OpenStack is a very popular cloud computing platform that has enabled several organizations during the last few years to successfully implement their Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms. This book will guide you through new features of the latest OpenStack releases and how to bring them into production straightaway in an agile way.
It starts by showing you how to expand your current OpenStack setup and how to approach your next OpenStack Data Center generation deployment. You will discover how to extend your storage and network capacity and also take advantage of containerization technology such as Docker and Kubernetes in OpenStack. Additionally, you'll explore the power of big data as a Service terminology implemented in OpenStack by integrating the Sahara project. This book will teach you how to build Hadoop clusters and launch jobs in a very simple way. Then you'll automate and deploy applications on top of OpenStack. You will discover how to write your own plugin in the Murano project. The final part of the book will go through best practices for security such as identity, access management, and authentication exposed by Keystone in OpenStack. By the end of this book, you will be ready to extend and customize your private cloud based on your requirements.
