  • Use enterprise security guidelines for your OpenStack deployment
  • Create a product roadmap that delivers functionality quickly to the users of your platform

In Detail

Over the last 5 years, hundreds of organizations have successfully implemented Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms based on OpenStack. The huge amount of investment from these organizations, industry giants such as IBM and HP, as well as open source leaders such as Red Hat have led analysts to label OpenStack as the most important open source technology since the Linux operating system. Because of its ambitious scope, OpenStack is a complex and fast-evolving open source project that requires a diverse skill-set to design and implement it.

This guide leads you through each of the major decision points that you'll face while architecting an OpenStack private cloud for your organization. At each point, we offer you advice based on the experience we've gained from designing and leading successful OpenStack projects in a wide range of industries. Each chapter also includes lab material that gives you a chance to install and configure the technologies used to build production-quality OpenStack clouds. Most importantly, we focus on ensuring that your OpenStack project meets the needs of your organization, which will guarantee a successful roll-out.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Handbook for a New-Bie Cloud SA!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is a very nice & decent study outcome from experiences of Authors!

    If you are newbie Cloud Solution Architect started to work with Openstack Services as technology, this book will provide you good level of guidance to design, implement and test a Proof Of Concept Project.

    However if you truly go in Production Level of Solution Design this book may not be that helpful as it does not cover;
    (a) Network Blue Print Design; decisions for flat, overlay, vlan networks with traffic calculations (CSO requirements) that will point certain NIC types (ex SR-IOV, DPDK support), Integration to Physical Network Fabric (ML2 Plugin, SDNc integrations). These are covered in 2 pages in this book with brief overview.
    (b) Storage Backend Design/Requirements for your Cloud Workloads; what sort of IOPs your vApp/VNFs will need to come in to service based on KPI requirements. Not covered at all in this book.
    (c) Openstack Upgrades, what are the best practices and how to do it? Specially if you have in-service sites and suffering from missing features that are already available in new Openstack releases. Instead patching has a section in the name of security hardening thats all.
    (d) Using Containers for Openstack Services and as well as light weight workload hypervisor selection. Only mentioned as future/emerging trends.

    Just what i was looking for, answered the "why" questions i had. This book consisted of a lot of design and best practices. The other books i read were purely technical more geared towards how, to configure OpenStack resources for consumption.

    While reading the book, Pike was the released version. It seems most of the book is referring to the Newton release. That doesn’t matter though. The book gives a great overview and helps you establish a list of things to consider before building your own cloud.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Divided about this book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 27, 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Why authors or Amazon don't explain the requirements, so the Operating System covered, and the OpenStack's version covered.
    Why they don't explain that the book uses the all in one?
    As requirements, on page 21 they say "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (or CentOS 7)".
    I do my own makes of OpenStack in distributed Servers, so why they don't explain clearly that I won't find any of this?.
    For the price I paid I'm not happy.
    Still it has good information.
