OpenStack is an open-source framework that enables the creation of private or public cloud platforms on physical servers, allowing you to build custom infrastructure and services without the costs and vendor lock-in of proprietary solutions like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. By implementing an OpenStack private cloud, you can achieve enhanced security, greater control, improved reliability, and reduced costs. This book covers how to select and set up both virtual and physical servers, implement software-defined networking, and delve into the technical aspects of designing, deploying, and operating an OpenStack cloud within your enterprise. It also guides you in tailoring your OpenStack deployment to fit your specific environment and shows how your cloud can provide user-facing software and infrastructure services. No prior knowledge of OpenStack or cloud development is required.
