Overview of this book

OpenStack Open Source software is one of the most used cloud infrastructures to support software development and big data analysis. It is developed by a thriving community of individual developers from around the globe and backed by most of the leading players in the cloud space today. It is simple to implement, massively scalable, and can store a large pool of data and networking resources. OpenStack has a strong ecosystem that helps you provision your cloud storage needs. Add OpenStack's enterprise features to reduce the cost of your business. This book will show you the steps to build up a private cloud environment. At the beginning, you'll discover the uses of cloud services such as the identity service, image service, and compute service. You'll dive into Neutron, the OpenStack Networking service, and get your hands dirty with configuring ML2, networks, routers, and Distributed Virtual Routers. You’ll then gather more expert knowledge on OpenStack cloud computing by managing your cloud's security and migration. After that, we delve in to OpenStack Object storage and how to manage servers and work with objects, cluster, and storage functionalities. Also, as you go deeper into the realm of OpenStack, you'll learn practical examples of Block storage, LBaaS, and FWaaS: installation and configuration covered ground up. Finally, you will learn OpenStack dashboard, Ansible and Foreman, Keystone, and other interesting topics.

Installing OpenStack Compute controller services


Before we create a server to run the OpenStack Compute services to run our instances, there are some final services that need be installed on the controller node where the OpenStack Identity and Image services are running. Separating out controller services from the Compute nodes allows us to scale our OpenStack environment resources horizontally in the controller and Compute services.

To do this, we will install some further packages to our controller node that we created in Chapter 1, Keystone – OpenStack Identity Service; Chapter 2, Glance – OpenStack Image Service; and Chapter 3, Neutron - OpenStack Networking, currently running Keystone and Glance. The services are as follows:

  • nova-scheduler: This scheduler picks the server for fulfilling the request to run the instance.

  • nova-api: This is service requests OpenStack to operate the services within it. For example, you make a call to this service to start up a new Nova instance.

  • nova-conductor...
