Who this book is for

This book is essentially geared towards the novice cloud operators, architects, and DevOps engineers who are looking to deploy a private cloud setup based on OpenStack. The book is also for those who are following up the trend of the novelty of OpenStack, willing to expand their knowledge and enlarge their current OpenStack setup based on the new features and projects recently added to the OpenStack ecosystem. The book does not provide detailed steps on installing or running OpenStack services, so the reader can focus on understanding advanced features and methodologies that treat the topic at hand. This edition gives more options to deploy and run an OpenStack environment, so the reader should be able to follow the examples included in each chapter of this book.
