Building a cloud is one thing-operating a reliable, scalable, and secure cloud is another. As organizations increasingly rely on private cloud infrastructure, administrators must design environments that are resilient, automated, and capable of supporting enterprise workloads.
Building Private Clouds with OpenStack takes you beyond the fundamentals and into the real-world practices used to deploy and manage production-ready OpenStack environments. You'll learn how to design scalable architectures, automate infrastructure deployment, improve operational efficiency, and maintain highly available cloud services.
Inside this book, you'll discover how to:
Design enterprise-ready OpenStack architectures
Deploy multi-node cloud environments
Configure compute, networking, and storage services
Implement automation and configuration management
Scale cloud infrastructure efficiently
Monitor system health and performance
Strengthen security and access control
Perform backup, recovery, and disaster planning
Troubleshoot operational and networking challenges
Maintain stable, high-performance cloud environments
Ideal for system administrators, cloud engineers, DevOps professionals, and infrastructure architects, this practical guide bridges the gap between learning OpenStack and operating it in production.
