Overview of this book

This book provides you with a specific strategy to pass the OpenStack Foundation’s first professional certification: the Certified OpenStack Administrator. In a recent survey, 78% of respondents said the OpenStack skills shortage had deterred them from adopting OpenStack. Consider this an opportunity to increase employer and customer confidence by proving you have the skills required to administrate real-world OpenStack clouds. You will begin your journey by getting well-versed with the OpenStack environment, understanding the benefits of taking the exam, and installing an included OpenStack All-in-One Virtual Appliance to work through objectives covered throughout the book. After exploring the basics of the individual services, you will be introduced to strategies to accomplish the exam objectives relevant to Keystone, Glance, Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Swift, Heat, and troubleshooting. Finally, you’ll benefit from the special tips section and a practice exam to put your knowledge to the test. By the end of the journey, you will be ready to become a Certified OpenStack Administrator!

Using the APIs to check the component status

Some OpenStack service APIs feature the ability to allow users to check the status of the service components without interacting with the daemons directly on the physical machine. These are typically admin-role-only functions and are a convenient way to verify the OpenStack component health. Let's try checking the status of nova components with the openstack compute service list command:

$ openstack compute service list

We should get output similar to Figure 10.6.

Figure 10.6: Output from the 'openstack compute service list' command

The output of this command shows us that the nova-conductor, nova-consoleauth,
nova-scheduler, and nova-compute services are all up and running. In a real-world OpenStack infrastructure, we would see multiple nova-compute services for every hypervisor in the environment.
