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.

Configuring OpenStack Object Storage – proxy server


Clients connect to OpenStack Object Storage via the proxy servers. This allows us to scale out our OpenStack Object Storage environment as needed, without affecting the frontend to which the clients connect. Configuration of the Swift proxy service is simply done by editing the /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf file.

Getting ready

Ensure that you are logged in to the swift-proxy nodes. If you created this with vagrant, you can access this node by issuing the following command:

vagrant ssh swift-proxy

How to do it...

To configure the OpenStack Object Storage proxy server, carry out the following steps:

  1. We first create the /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf file with the following content:

    [DEFAULT]
    bind_port = 8080
    user = swift
    swift_dir = /etc/swift
    log_level = DEBUG
    
    [pipeline:main]
    # Order of execution of modules defined as follows
    pipeline = catch_errors healthcheck cache authtoken keystone proxy-server
    
    [app:proxy-server]
    use = egg:swift#proxy
    allow_account_management...
