 OpenStack is a cloud operating system that

controls large pools of compute, storage, and
networking resources throughout a data center,
all managed through a dashboard that gives
administrators control while empowering users to
provision resources through a web interface.

Compute ("Nova") provides virtual servers upon demand. Compute resources are
accessible via APIs for developers building cloud applications and via web interfaces for
administrators and users. The compute architecture is designed to scale horizontally on
standard hardware, enabling the cloud economics companies have come to expect.

Network (Neutron") is a pluggable, scalable and API-driven system for managing

networks and IP addresses. Like other aspects of the cloud operating system, it can be
used by administrators and users to increase the value of existing datacenter assets.

Block Storage ("Cinder") provides persistent block storage to guest VMs. This project
was born from code originally in Nova (the nova-volume service described below).

Dashboard ("Horizon") provides a modular web-based user interface for all the
OpenStack services.
Jawdat 2012

18

Object Store ("Swift") provides object storage. It allows you to store or retrieve files
(but not mount directories like a fileserver).
Image ("Glance") provides a catalog and repository for virtual disk images. These disk
images are mostly commonly used in OpenStack Compute.
Identity ("Keystone") provides authentication and authorization for all the OpenStack
services.
Orchestration (Heat) orchestrates multiple cloud applications using the AWS
CloudFormation template format, through both an OpenStack-native REST API and a
CloudFormation-compatible Query API.
Metering (Ceilometer) monitoring and metering framework using an agentless from
3rd party systems, all is natively implemented in OpenStack.

 Jawdat delivers OpenStack training in 3 separate courses with

increasing complexity:
OpenStack Overview (1 day) : Introduction to cloud computing, OS,

what it is, what it can be used for, benefits, etc. Targeted at non-technical
audiences who want to know what OS really is.
OpenStack Fundamentals with Hands-On (3 days) : Technical course

on OS. Discussing OS architecture, components, how it works and its

day-to-day operation.
OpenStack Boot Camp (3 days) : In-depth technical workshop in OS.

Deeply discussing its components, inter-relationship between its

components up to API messaging level and troubleshoot common
problems that may rise in operation.

 Virtualization enables cloud

computing, which in turn

enables new IT/Telco
business model.
OpenStack is a Cloud

Operating System, managing

pooled resources in the Data
Center.
Through this session we have

seen the history, architecture,

components and also the
demonstration of OpenStack.
