What is OpenStack ?

• Free and open-source cloud- software


computing platform
• Provides services for managing a Cloud environment on
the fly.
• Consists of a group of interrelated projects that control
pools of processing, storage, and networking resources
• Provides users methods and support to deploy virtual
machines in a remote environment.
• State in OpenStack is maintained in centrally managed
relational database (MySQL or MariaDB).
• OpenStack provides all the services for an IaaS.

OpenStack components
• OpenStack identifies nine key components...
• Nova: cloud computing fabric controller, main part of an
IaaS system. It is designed to manage and automate
pools of computer resources

6
OpenStack components

• Keystone: provides identity services for OpenStack. A


central list of users/permissions mapped against
OpenStack services. Provides multiple means of access.
• Glance: provides image services to OpenStack.
"images" refers to images (or virtual copies) of hard
disks. Used as templates for deploying new VMs.
• Neutron: provides the networking capability for
OpenStack.
• Horizon: The dashboard behind OpenStack. The only
native graphical interface to OpenStack.

OpenStack components
• Swift: storage system for objects and files.
Users refer to a unique file identifiers: OpenStack decides
•
where to store/back-up etc.
• Cinder: block storage component, analogous to the traditional
access on a disk drive.
• Ceilometer: provides telemetry services.
• Metering and reporting. Allows OpenStack to provide billing
• services to users.
• Heat: the orchestration component of OpenStack.
• Users can store the requirements of a cloud application in
a file.
• Defines what resources are necessary for the application.

Controller Node

• Controller node Runs:


• Identity service (Keystone), Image Service (Glance)
• Management portions of Compute and Networking
• Networking plug-in (Open vSwitch), and the
dashboard (Horizon).
• Supporting services: SQL database, message queue,
and Network Time Protocol (NTP).

12
Network and Compute nodes

• Network node:
• Runs Networking plug-in (Open vSwitch)
• Provides switching, routing, NAT, and DHCP
services. Also handles external (Internet) connectivity
for tenant VMs.
• Compute node(s)
• Runs the hypervisor (default KVM) that operates
tenant VMs.
• Networking plug-in (Open vSwitch) and an agent to
connect tenant networks to VMs.
• Agent to provide firewalling (security groups)
services.
