By: Kevin Jackson, Cody Bunch, Egle Sigler, James Denton

Overview of this book

This is the fourth edition of the industry-acclaimed OpenStack Cloud Computing Cookbook, created by four recognized OpenStack experts. It has now been updated to work with the latest OpenStack builds, using tools and processes based on their collective and vast OpenStack experience. OpenStack Open Source Cloud software is one of the most used cloud infrastructures to support a wide variety of use cases, from software development to 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. We make it simple to implement, massively scalable, and able to 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 begin by showing you the steps to build up an OpenStack private cloud environment using Ansible. You'll then 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 networks, routers, load balancers, and more. You’ll then gather more expert knowledge on OpenStack cloud computing by managing your cloud's security and migration. After that, we delve into OpenStack Object storage and you’ll see how to manage servers and work with objects, cluster, and storage functionalities. Finally, you will learn about OpenStack dashboard, Ansible, Keystone, and other interesting topics.

Using Ansible to launch instances

Launching an instance using Ansible is a convenient, platform agnostic method. While we have to specify how to do this for OpenStack, as a particular task, an Ansible playbook could be extended to allow a user to use the same Ansible command to launch an instance on any cloud. This recipe is a very basic introduction to the use of Ansible with OpenStack.

Getting ready

Ensure that you are logged on to a correctly configured OpenStack client and can access the OpenStack environment that has Ansible installed.

How to do it...

Ansible executes tasks in what is known as a playbook. In this example, we will create a simple task that launches a specific instance called cookbook1:

  1. The first step is to create the Ansible playbook for our tasks that will launch our instance. Create the following file called launch-instance.yml on your client, in a directory of your choosing:

    - name: Launch instance on OpenStack
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
  - name...
