Key FeaturesDeploy an
all-in-one cloud based on OpenStack Liberty (2015.2) using RDOLearn the
fundamentals of the Neutron API including networks, subnets, and ports,
and how to manage these resources in the cloudBuild simple virtual
network infrastructures in the cloudBook Description
The OpenStack
Networking API offers users the ability to create and manage both basic
and complex network architectures that blend the virtual and physical
network infrastructure.
This book kicks off by describing various
components of Openstack Neutron and installing Ubuntu OpenStack based
on Canonicals process. Further on, you will use various methods to
interface with Neutron to create and manage network resources. You will
also get to grips with the relationship between ports, networks, and
subnets through diagrams and explanations, and see how the logical
components are implemented via plugins and agents.
Moving
forward, you will learn how virtual switches are implemented and how to
build Neutron routers. You will also configure networks, subnets, and
routers to provide connectivity to instances using simple examples. At
the end, you will configure and manage security groups, and will observe
how these rules translate to iptables rules on the host machines.
