Overview of this book

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.

Snapshotting an instance

Snapshotting an instance will create a Glance image of the instance at the point in time the snapshot was taken. This image can then be used to deploy additional instances of a given application, or as a bootable backup of the instance.

Getting ready

In order to create a snapshot of an instance, you require the following information:

  • The openstack command-line client

  • The openrc file containing appropriate credentials

  • The name of the instance

How to do it…

The following commands are used to create an instance snapshot:

  1. First, we list the existing images with the following command:

    openstack image list -c Name -c Status

    This will bring back a list of images like the following:

  2. Now list the running instances with the following command:

    openstack server list -c Name -c Status

    This gives an output like the following:

  3. To create the snapshot, issue the following command (note the optional shell expansion command we're using to timestamp the name of the snapshot):

    openstack server...
