OpenStack is among the most used cloud infrastructures for many use cases ranging from software development to big data analysis. It is open-source software developed by a global individual developer community and backed by most of the leading companies in the cloud space. OpenStack is simple to implement and store vast data and networking resources while being massively scalable. It has an ecosystem that helps you provision your cloud storage needs, and it also has enterprise features to help reduce business costs.

The book starts by providing a guide to building an OpenStack private cloud environment using Ansible. It then delves into the use of cloud services such as the identity service, image service, and compute service. It also provides insight into the OpenStack Networking service through configuring networks, routers, load balancers, and more. Readers will acquire expert knowledge on OpenStack cloud computing such as managing cloud security and migration, OpenStack Object storage, managing servers, working with objects, cluster, and storage functionalities. Finally, readers will learn about OpenStack dashboard, Ansible, Keystone, and other compelling topics.
