OpenStack Cookbook: Manage Compute, Storage and Networking through Single Interface (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788119177806)

OpenStack Cookbook is specifically tailored for cloud professionals, network administrators, and engineers who express a desire to augment their proficiency in effectively managing OpenStack environments. The book provides a pragmatic and interactive methodology with recipes that specifically target solutions to tackle the actual difficulties encountered in implementing and overseeing cloud infrastructure.

Every chapter presents systematic solutions, enabling you to develop proficiency in designated OpenStack components. These recipes provide instructions on how to install, configure, and optimize OpenStack services such as Keystone for identity management, Glance for image processing, Neutron for networking, Nova for computing management, Cinder for block storage, and Octavia for load balancing. Some of the more advanced topics covered in the book include how to use Heat for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), how to automate and repeat infrastructure deployments, and how to use Heat and Ceilometer to create auto-scaling solutions that dynamically adjust resources according to demand.

Typical problems with stack creation, resource management, and orchestration tasks will be explained and solved. The book encompasses a broad spectrum of situations, ranging from the prevention of stack creation failures and template validation errors to the effective management of resource dependencies and performance issues. With the knowledge you gain from this book, you will be able to set up, administer, and fix OpenStack environments with ease. No matter your level of expertise with OpenStack, this cookbook will equip you with the practical knowledge and solutions you need to use OpenStack efficiently in real-world scenarios.
