In Detail

Networking in OpenStack has evolved from Nova Network to Neutron. This has resulted in a rich suite of networking services available to OpenStack users and administrators. Advanced services such as routers, firewall, and load balancers use building blocks such as network and subnets. Recent improvements support powerful customization using plugins. The evolution of Neutron continues as it integrates with tools like Ceilometer and Heat.

This book will explore the built-in capabilities of Neutron to effectively deploy cloud solutions. You will begin with the most fundamental constructs of OpenStack Networking for switching and routing. You will then learn how to provide your tenants with services like firewalls and load-balancers. The step-by-step recipes will help you configure and troubleshoot networking problems in your cloud. This book will also introduce you to advanced topics like Ceilometer, Heat, and other upcoming tools in OpenStack

Style and approach

The book is full of step-by-step recipes to configure and manage the networking aspects of your OpenStack cloud. In addition to covering basic configuration involved in OpenStack Networking, the books also shares various troubleshooting tips and techniques. As much as possible the book uses OpenStack dashboard (Horizon) to help the user get a feel of real OpenStack Networking
