With so many moving parts to OpenStack, it can be difficult to determine what to start learning. I’ve seen guides that, while decent enough, walk you through standing up the infrastructure without really helping you understand what it is you just did.
In my mind, this manual takes a better approach by focusing on just one of the projects and giving it thorough treatment although, the author does work through enough of the other OpenStack components to get you going.
When he does get to the main course, the author barely leaves anything out. With the vArmours and F5s of the world delivering strong FWaaS and LBaaS respectively, the detail in which these topics are covered will leave you ready to integrate almost immediately.
However, you’ll certainly want to bring your Linux admin experience with you (Ubuntu fans should note that this is a CentOS-based cookbook), as well as a firm grasp on networking fundamentals. With these in your back pocket, the material in this book becomes very accessible and immediately applicable.
My only quarrel, if anything, is that I feel the author could have spent more time discussing how to troubleshoot this. Of course, this is mitigated by the fact that standard networking rules apply once you stand everything up. That and your newly acquired understanding of how it all comes together should help you intuit where to start looking for answers.
