Prologue
You are here: OpenStack Cookbook. Hello, I'm Jorven Halquin, and I've been an expert in cloud infrastructures, particularly OpenStack, for many years. I wrote this book to assist you, network administrators, engineers, and cloud specialists, in making your work with OpenStack more efficient. My goal is to share my knowledge and insights through a series of well-crafted recipes so you can have the most seamless and effective OpenStack experience possible.
Throughout this book, we will be working with an imaginary but relatable tech company called GitforGits. Initially, GitforGits operated as a small on-premise server-based software development company. Their needs for infrastructure expanded along with their business. To handle their growing number of projects and clients, they discovered that they needed better storage options, more processing power, and a more adaptable networking configuration. They decided to switch to OpenStack at that point. GitforGits selected OpenStack because of its open-source architecture and the complete control it provides over their cloud environment. But they quickly discovered, as many other organizations have, that OpenStack management can be daunting without the proper resources and expertise. This book fills that need. We meticulously crafted every recipe and chapter in this cookbook. We'll go over their issues and investigate how OpenStack can help, whether it's using Keystone for identity management, Nova for virtual machine deployment, or Neutron for complex networking configuration.
I aimed to make practicality a central theme in this book. I didn't want to limit my advice to abstract ideas or theoretical knowledge. Instead, we organize the content based on real-world issues and their corresponding solutions. We considered using OpenStack's Load Balancer as a Service, Octavia, when GitforGits needed to guarantee that their applications would always be accessible and responsive. We looked into Cinder to handle their block storage needs when they needed safe and effective storage solutions. And Heat became our go-to tool when they wanted automation to handle resource scaling because it allowed us to define infrastructure as code, guaranteeing repeatable and consistent deployments.
This book aims to empower you to take advantage of OpenStack's full potential in your own environments, not just teach you how to use it. The recipes here are as versatile as the platform itself; both are meant to be easily adjusted to suit your needs. You can use them directly in your scenarios or modify them to suit your specific requirements. I've also included troubleshooting techniques to assist you in overcoming the unavoidable hiccups on the road. I derived these solutions from my own experiences and lessons learned, addressing issues like resource allocation optimization and stack creation failures.
I hope you'll see the tremendous value that OpenStack can add to your infrastructure as we go through each chapter. Although the GitforGits story is fictional, the problems they encounter and the fixes we provide are very real. By the time this book ends, I want you to feel comfortable taking care of your OpenStack environment and have the know-how to handle any challenge that comes your way.
