This chapter provided an introduction to ONOS. After covering the ONOS architecture in brief, we showed how ONOS can manage Open vSwitch. With OVS being the most-used virtual switch in OpenStack deployment, this step was important to understand the relationship between ONOS and OpenStack. We touched upon growing an application for the SDN framework on the service provider network. We also described how to install and configure an ONOS system and outlined the landscape where ONOS fits in the context of OpenStack and XOS. Finally, we summarized the role of XOS as a service orchestration layer unifying OpenStack management.

Overview of this book
Networking is one the pillars of OpenStack and OpenStack Networking are designed to support programmability and Software-Defined Networks. OpenStack Networking has been evolving from simple APIs and functionality in Quantum to more complex capabilities in Neutron.
Armed with the basic knowledge, this book will help the readers to explore popular SDN technologies, namely, OpenDaylight (ODL), OpenContrail, Open Network Operating System (ONOS) and Open Virtual Network (OVN).
The first couple of chapters will provide an overview of OpenStack Networking and SDN in general. Thereafter a set of chapters are devoted to OpenDaylight (ODL), OpenContrail and their integration with OpenStack Networking. The book then introduces you to Open Network Operating System (ONOS) which is fast becoming a carrier grade SDN platform. We will conclude the book with overview of upcoming SDN projects within OpenStack namely OVN and Dragonflow.
By the end of the book, the readers will be familiar with SDN technologies and know how they can be leveraged in an OpenStack based cloud.
