OpenStack for Architects [EPUB ebook] 
Design and implement successful private clouds with OpenStack

Over the last five years, hundreds of organizations have successfully implemented Infrastructure as a Service (Iaa S) platforms based on Open Stack. The huge amount of investment from these organizations, industry giants such as IBM and HP, as well as open source leaders such as Red Hat have led analysts to label Open Stack as the most important open source technology since the Linux operating system. Because of its ambitious scope, Open Stack is a complex and fast-evolving open source project that requires a diverse skill-set to design and implement it.
This guide leads you through each of the major decision points that you’ll face while architecting an Open Stack private cloud for your organization. At each point, we offer you advice based on the experience we’ve gained from designing and leading successful Open Stack projects in a wide range of industries. Each chapter also includes lab material that gives you a chance to install and configure the technologies used to build production-quality Open Stack clouds. Most importantly, we focus on ensuring that your Open Stack project meets the needs of your organization, which will guarantee a successful rollout.
