Overview

OpenStack is an open-source cloud-computing platform for both public and private clouds. It controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a data center.

OpenStack is managed through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface.

OpenStack discovery shows the state and configuration of your cloud using jclouds APIs. The discovery of these low-level infrastructure services are supported:

Nova (Compute)
- Manages the lifecycle of compute instances in an OpenStack environment.
- Its responsibilities include spawning, scheduling, and decommissioning of virtual machines on demand.
Neutron (Networking)
- Enables Network-Connectivity-as-a-Service for other OpenStack services, such as OpenStack Compute.
- Provides an API for you to define networks and attachments into them.
- Has a pluggable architecture that supports many popular networking vendors and technologies.
Cinder (Volume)
- Provides the persistent block storage to running instances.
- Its pluggable driver architecture facilitates the creation and management of block storage devices.
Glance (Image)
- Stores and retrieves virtual machine disk images. OpenStack Compute makes use of this during the instance provisioning.
Keystone (identity)
- Provides an authentication and authorization service for other OpenStack services.
- Provides a catalog of endpoints for all OpenStack services.
