Learning OpenStack Networking (Neutron), Second Edition

Chapter 2. Installing OpenStack

Installing, configuring, and maintaining OpenStack clouds can be an arduous task when performed by hand. Many third-party vendors offer downloadable cloud software based on OpenStack that provide deployment and management strategies using Chef, Puppet, Fuel, Ansible, and other tools.

This chapter will step you through a package-based installation of the following OpenStack components on the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS operating system:

OpenStack Identity (Keystone)
OpenStack Image Service (Glance)
OpenStack Compute (Nova)
OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder)
OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon)

Note

The installation process documented within this chapter is based on the OpenStack Installation Guide for Ubuntu 14.04 found at http://docs.openstack.org/. If you wish to install OpenStack on a different operating system, the guides available at that site provide instructions to do so.

System requirements

OpenStack components are intended to run on standard hardware that range from desktop machines to enterprise-grade servers. For optimal performance, the processors of the compute nodes must support hardware virtualization technologies, such as Intel's VT-x or AMD's AMD-v virtualization extensions.

This book assumes that OpenStack will be installed on physical hardware that meets the following minimum requirements:

Server	Hardware Requirements	Notes
Controller node (runs API, network, volume, scheduler, and image services)	Processor: 64-bit x86 Memory: 8 GB RAM Disk space: 64 GB Network: Three 1 Gbps Network Interface Cards (NICs)	While a single NIC can be used for all network traffic, that configuration is not addressed in this book
Compute nodes (run virtual instances)	Processor: 64-bit x86 Memory: 8 GB RAM Disk Space: 64 GB Network: Three 1 Gbps Network Interface Cards (NICs)	While a single NIC can be used for all network traffic, that configuration is...

Key benefits

• This completely up-to-date edition will show you how to deploy a cloud on OpenStack using community-driven processes. It includes rich examples that will help you understand complex networking topics with ease.
• Understand every aspect of designing, creating, customizing, and maintaining the core network foundation of an OpenStack cloud using OpenStack Neutron all in one book.

Description

OpenStack Neutron is an OpenStack component that provides networking as a service for other OpenStack services to architect networks and create virtual machines through its API. This API lets you define network connectivity in order to leverage network capabilities to cloud deployments. Through this practical book, you will build a strong foundational knowledge of Neutron, and will architect and build an OpenStack cloud using advanced networking features. We start with an introduction to OpenStack Neutron and its various components, including virtual switching, routing, FWaaS, VPNaaS, and LBaaS. You’ll also get hands-on by installing OpenStack and Neutron and its components, and use agents and plugins to orchestrate network connectivity and build a virtual switching infrastructure. Moving on, you’ll get to grips with the HA routing capabilities utilizing VRRP and distributed virtual routers in Neutron. You’ll also discover load balancing fundamentals, including the difference between nodes, pools, pool members, and virtual IPs. You’ll discover the purpose of security groups and learn how to apply the security concept to your cloud/tenant/instance. Finally, you' ll configure virtual private networks that will allow you to avoid the use of SNAT and floating IPs when connecting to remote networks.

Who is this book for?

If you are an OpenStack-based cloud operator and administrator who is new to Neutron networking and wants to build your very own OpenStack cloud, then this book is for you. Prior networking experience and a physical server and network infrastructure is recommended to follow along with concepts demonstrated in the book.

Having a good networking background in firewalls and load-balancers, this book helped me tremendously to get my lab working in no time. It goes in detail into how Neutron works, all the components. Last 4 chapters is where you get into the real life scenarios. It also gives good pointers on how Openstack networking evolved over time.If you are new to OpenStack and networking is your focus, you cannot go wrong with this book.

This book is a very good high level intro into OpenStack networking but just as the author prefaces, you must have a good handle on networking and system administration before hand. OpenStack has so many moving parts and its quite refreshing to get an understanding of a single piece of the puzzle. The explanations in this edition are more concise in comparison to the first edition which in my opinion had a lot extra material that caused it to be a little bit more confusing in a system with so much going in the background already.I was able to setup my environment with relative ease with minimal linux knowledge and mess around with the interface as it should be. I would still like a troubleshooting section but to be honest everything was relatively easy.

Neutron looks really pretty on the surface, but it is still a very complex system to digest. This book is highly recommended for configuring OpenStack Networking if you're using Neutron. As another reviewer recommended having this in your OpenStack library for Administration purposes, I couldn't agree more. The book is very clear, concise, and stays on track. Following along is a breeze and the detailed information is well worth the cost alone for this book.
