What about letting your OpenStack cloud environment go beyond its limits? This can be the right moment to revisit the design of your private cloud when it grows in size. Most importantly, an operational team should be aware that the offered service should keep functioning continuously. To become more efficient as the user's resource base grows, one should pinpoint more specifically the worker blocks of the cloud—compute nodes. Again, OpenStack comes with great concepts that would help to massively scale your compute power. This is where the art of segregation comes. Segregation in OpenStack can be classified into two main umbrellas:
- Infrastructure segregation: This involves logical grouping based on conceptual and physical capabilities. Typically, it defines a specific number of clusters organized to scale horizontally.
- Workload segregation...
