OpenStack Cloud Computing Cookbook

The OpenStack Cloud Computing Cookbook has been written in such a way so that our readers can follow each section to understand, install and configure each component of the OpenStack environment. We cover Compute (Nova), Identity (Keystone), Image (Glance), Networking (Neutron), Storage (Cinder and Swift) as well as many other services such as how to install these components using Ansible. As such, there are elements of the OpenStack environment that don’t fit in any particular chapter. These supporting services are:

• Messaging (RabbitMQ)
  • This is covered here: https://openstackcookbook.com/2015/03/29/installing-rabbitmq-for-openstack-cloud-computing-cookbook/
• Database (MariaDB)
  • This is covered here: https://openstackcookbook.com/2015/03/28/installing-mariadb-for-openstack-cloud-computing-cookbook/
• NTP
  • NTP is required on each host in the environment. For details of configuring NTP, visit https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/NTP.html
