Overview of this book

<p>OpenStack is an open source cloud operating stack that was born from Rackspace and NASA and became a global success, developed by scores of people around the globe and backed by some of the leading players in the cloud space today.<br /><br />OpenStack Cloud Computing Cookbook, Second Edition will show you exactly how to install the components that are required to make up a private cloud environment. You will learn how to set up an environment that you manage just as you would a public cloud provider like Rackspace with the help of experienced OpenStack administrators and architects.<br /><br />We begin by configuring the key components such as identity, image compute, and storage in a safe, virtual environment that we will then build on this throughout the book. The book will also teach you about provisioning and managing OpenStack in the datacenter using proven DevOps tools and techniques.<br /><br />From installing or creating a sandbox environment using Vagrant and VirtualBox to installing OpenStack in the datacenter, from understanding logging to automating OpenStack installations, whatever level of experience or interest you have with OpenStack there is a chapter for you. Installation steps cover compute, object storage, identity, block storage volumes, image, horizon, software defined networking and DevOps tools for automating your infrastructure OpenStack Cloud Computing Cookbook, Second edition gives you clear step-by-step instructions to installing and running your own private cloud.</p>

Troubleshooting OpenStack Networking


OpenStack Networking is now a complex service with the introduction of Neutron, as it now gives users the ability to define and create their own networking within their cloud environment. Common problems for an OpenStack administrator include misconfigured Neutron installations, routing problems and switch plugin problems. Problems for users include misunderstanding the capabilities of Neutron or limitations imposed by administrators.

Getting ready

We'll be troubleshooting Neutron installations so administrator access is required to troubleshoot this service. Ensure you're logged in as root on our controller, compute, and network hosts and configure our environment to enable us to run various commands.

To log into our hosts that were created using Vagrant issue the following in separate shells:

vagrant ssh controller
vagrant ssh compute
vagrant ssh network

In our Controller and Network host sessions, as root, issue the following:

# Administrator Credentialsexport...
