“Explain the Red Hat OpenStack Platform


components and architecture”
Week #1
Contents
• 1.1 Describe OpenStack personas.
• 1.2 Describe the OpenStack components.
What is OpenStack?
• OpenStack is an open source platform that uses pooled
virtual resources to build and manage private and public
clouds. The tools that comprise the OpenStack platform,
called "projects," handle the core cloud-computing
services of compute, networking, storage, identity, and
image services.
• OpenStack uses a consistent set of application
programming interfaces (APIs) to abstract those virtual
resources 1 step further into discrete pools used to power
standard cloud computing tools that administrators and
users interact with directly.
Is OpenStack just a virtualization
management platform?
• Not quite. There are a lot of similarities, but they're not
the same.

• Yes, OpenStack and virtualization management platforms


both sit on top of virtualized resources and can discover,
report, and automate processes in vendor-disparate
environments.
• But while virtualization management platforms make it
easier to manipulate the features and functions of virtual
resources, OpenStack actually uses the virtual resources
to run a combination of tools. These tools create a cloud
environment that meets the National Institute of
Standards and Technology's 5 criteria of cloud computing:
a network, pooled resources, a user
interface, provisioning capabilities, and
automatic resource control/allocation.
How does OpenStack work?
OpenStack is essentially a series of commands known as
scripts. Those scripts are bundled into packages called
projects that relay tasks that create cloud environments. In
order to create those environments, OpenStack relies on 2
other types of software:
• Virtualization that creates a layer of virtual resources
abstracted from hardware
• A base operating system (OS) that carries out commands
given by OpenStack scripts
Think about it like this:
OpenStack itself doesn't virtualize resources, but rather
uses them to build clouds. OpenStack also doesn’t execute
commands, but rather relays them to the base OS. All 3
technologies—OpenStack, virtualization, and the base OS
—must work together. That interdependency is why so
many OpenStack clouds are deployed using Linux®, which
was the inspiration behind RackSpace and NASA’s decision
to release OpenStack as open source software.
The OpenStack components
OpenStack's architecture is made up of numerous open
source projects. These projects are used to set up
OpenStack's undercloud and overcloud—used by
sys admins and cloud users, respectively
• Underclouds contain the core components sys admins
need to set up and manage end users' OpenStack
environments, known as overclouds.
• There are 6 stable, core services that handle compute,
networking, storage, identity, and images while more than
a dozen optional ones vary in developmental maturity.
• Those 6 core services are the infrastructure that allows
the rest of the projects to handle dashboarding,
orchestration, bare-metal provisioning, messaging,
containers, and governance.
• Nova: Nova is a full management and access tool to
OpenStack compute resources—handling scheduling,
creation, and deletion.
• Neutron: Neutron connects the networks across other
OpenStack services.
• Swift: Swift is a highly fault-tolerant object storage
service that stores and retrieves unstructured data objects
using a RESTful API.
• Cinder: Cinder provides persistent block storage
accessible through a self-service API.
• Keystone: Keystone authenticates and authorizes all
OpenStack services. It's also the endpoint catalog for all
services.
• Glance: Glance stores and retrieves virtual machine
disk images from a variety of locations.
What can I do with OpenStack?
• Private clouds: Private cloud distributions run on
OpenStack can provide more substantial benefits than
private clouds built using custom code.
• Network functions virtualization: 451 Research
found that using OpenStack for network functions
virtualization (NFV)—which involves separating a
network's key functions so they can be distributed among
environments—could very well be the next big thing.
• Public clouds: OpenStack is the leading open source
option for building public cloud environments.
• Containers: OpenStack is a stable foundation for
public and private clouds. Containers speed up
application delivery while simplifying application
deployment and management. Running containers on
OpenStack can scale containers' benefits from single,
siloed teams to enterprise-wide interdepartmental
operations.
