Book Description
By finelybook
OpenStack Networking is a pluggable,scalable,and API-driven system to manage physical and virtual networking resources in an OpenStack-based cloud. Like other core OpenStack components,OpenStack Networking can be used by administrators and users to increase the value and maximize the use of existing datacenter resources. This third edition of Learning OpenStack Networking walks you through the installation of OpenStack and provides you with a foundation that can be used to build a scalable and production-ready OpenStack cloud.
In the initial chapters,you will review the physical network requirements and architectures necessary for an OpenStack environment that provide core cloud functionality. Then,you’ll move through the installation of the new release of OpenStack using packages from the Ubuntu repository. An overview of Neutron networking foundational concepts,including networks,subnets,and ports will segue into advanced topics such as security groups,distributed virtual routers,virtual load balancers,and VLAN tagging within instances.
By the end of this book,you will have built a network infrastructure for your cloud using OpenStack Neutron.
