OpenStack is a free and open source cloud computing platform developed as a joint project of Rackspace Hosting and NASA. Users primarily deploy it as an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution. OpenStack cloud consists of many well know technologies like: Linux KVM, LVM, iSCSI, MariaDB (MySQL), RabbitMQ or Python Django.
OpenStack architecture overview:
- Horizon: web browser user interface (dashboard) based on Python Django for creating and managing instances (virtual machines)
- Keystone: authentication and authorization framework
- Neutron: network connectivity as a service
- Cinder: persistent block storage for instances based on LVM
- Nova: instances management system based on Linux KVM
- Glance: registry for instance images
- Swift: file storage for cloud
- Ceilometer: metering engine for collecting billable data and analysis.
- Heat: orchestration service for template-based instance deployment
