Software-Defined Networking (SDN) with OpenStack
Leverage the best SDN technologies for your OpenStack-based cloud infrastructure About This Book Learn how to leverage critical SDN technologies for OpenStack Networking APIs via plugins and drivers Champion the skills of achieving complete SDN with OpenStack with specific use cases and capabilities only covered in this title Discover exactly how you could implement cost-effective OpenStack SDN integration for your organization Who This Book Is For Administrators, and cloud operators who would like to implement Software Defined Networking on OpenStack clouds. Some prior experience of network infrastructure and networking concepts is assumed. What You Will Learn Understand how OVS is used for Overlay networks Get familiar with SDN Controllers with Architectural details and functionalities Create core ODL services and understand how OpenDaylight integrates with OpenStack to provide SDN capabilities Understand OpenContrail architecture and how it supports key SDN functionality such as Service Function Chaining (SFC) along with OpenStack Explore Open Network Operating System (ONOS) - a carrier grade SDN platform embraced by the biggest telecom service providers Learn about upcoming SDN technologies in OpenStack such as Dragonflow and OVN In Detail Networking is one the pillars of OpenStack and OpenStack Networking are designed to support programmability and Software-Defined Networks. OpenStack Networking has been evolving from simple APIs and functionality in Quantum to more complex capabilities in Neutron. Armed with the basic knowledge, this book will help the readers to explore popular SDN technologies, namely, OpenDaylight (ODL), OpenContrail, Open Network Operating System (ONOS) and Open Virtual Network (OVN). The first couple of chapters will provide an overview of OpenStack Networking and SDN in general. Thereafter a set of chapters are devoted to OpenDaylight (ODL), OpenContrail and their integration with OpenStack Networking. The book then introduces you to Open Network Operating System (ONOS) which is fast becoming a carrier grade SDN platform. We will conclude the book with overview of upcoming SDN projects within OpenStack namely OVN and Dragonflow. By the end of the book, the readers will be familiar with SDN technologies and know how they can be leveraged in an OpenStack based cloud. Style and approach A hands-on practical tutorial through use cases and examples for Software Defined Networking with OpenStack."

One of the most complex topics around OpenStack is networking. I believe that for the people dealing with this subject can be very frustrating to understand all the bits and pieces.
On the other hand, SDN technology is a subject for itself, but it is mandatory in cloud environments. Integrating SDN with OpenStack requires lots of understanding, planning and work.
This book tries to explain some SDN technologies and how you can use them with OpenStack. It is explaining the theory and showing practically only some test/lab principles, so I think the main purpose is to help the reader understand and explore the topic further.
At least it sheds some light in this dark area :-)
I enjoyed it, it is easy to read, and comprehensible for the most part. Recommended reading for OpenStack-ers
