The OpenStack Foundation has come up a wonderful set of software tools for managing the cloud computing platform – OpenStack. Implementable on both public and private clouds, it is considered to be the ‘tomorrow of cloud computing’. A combination of developmental skills and the cloud framework, it focuses on giving solutions starting from simplistic ones to enriched and complicated ones. There are tons of OpenStack projects which give components suitable for a cloud based solution. The founder, Rackspace Hosting and NASA together, had a single objective: to offer cloud based computing services on any type of standard hardware.
OpenStack lets its users, deployment of virtual machines which look after diverse activities on the basis of the cloud environment. Based on spin of other instances, it is easy to let more users use concurrent task execution. It, being open source, lets changes in the source code and hence definitely gains advantage over others and proves to be a secure and robust framework.
How does OpenStack operate in a cloud environment?
OpenStack operates with a open approach to run, build and submit the code and hence organizations that have OpenStack are moving towards an agile approach with reduced cost and ROI maximization. It falls under the IaaS (Infrastructure As A Service) framework because its direct infrastructure provision provides a flexibility to the users for addition of new instances on which execution of cloud can be done. As we all know, the cloud is the correct medium to avail computing in remote environments where the major software executes as a service on pre defined servers and not on independent servers. Companies who need private or public clouds for deploying large scale apps would be keen to use OpenStack.
Key Components of OpenStack
• Glance
Gives image services as templates while deploying new instances
• Keystone
Contains central list and identity of all the users and provides multiple means of access
• Ceilometer
Verifies system usage and gives services through which individual billing is possible
• Heat
Definition of resources stored in a file and manages infrastructure
• Nova
In charge for management and deployment of multiple virtual machines
• Swift
Assigning unique identification to storage system and files increasing scalability
