Deploying OpenStack: Creating Open Source Clouds

OpenStack was created with the audacious goal of being the ubiquitous software choice for building public and private cloud infrastructures. In just over a year, it's become the most talked-about project in open source. This concise book introduces OpenStack's general design and primary software components in detail, and shows you how to start using it to build cloud infrastructures. If you're a developer, technologist, or system administrator familiar with cloud offerings such as Rackspace Cloud or Amazon Web Services, Deploying OpenStack shows you how to obtain and deploy OpenStack software in a few controlled scenarios.

It is a book for novice people, who need screenshots and detailed examples for apt-get... The book does not cover the details, deployment patterns or best practices, guidance for planning and benchmarking. Disappointing.

Reading the Early Edition for Havanna. Too much is left undone and no updates, yet Icehouse has shipped. I suspect the author is distracted. Too many chapters remain sketches. Wish I had access to the early editions.

i use this book to understand the philosophy of openstack , and how they build it and why ? the book is really good for the beginner in openstack but , the book needed to be more updated to be more helpful .

Short, brief overview of Openstack, but not a reference or implementation book. If you're new to the ecosystem it's a good entry point.
