Description

The increasing adoption of the Cloud has led to enterprises having a heterogeneous IT environment that consists of both private and public cloud infrastructures, and in most cases existing virtualized infrastructures as well. As building and managing such a diverse IT infrastructure is a major challenges, Red Hat CloudForms provides a unified, consistent, and comprehensive management platform. With features like cloud intelligence dashboard, self-service portal, lifecycle management, policy-based governance, quotas, capacity management, monitoring and reporting, Red Hat CloudForms lets you manage your hybrid cloud infrastructure from a single pane of glass. This book will equip you with a hands-on approach on how to build a hybrid cloud environment and then manage, control, and gain operational insights into it. The book starts by showing you how to install and configure Red Hat CloudForms, and add infrastructure and cloud providers to build the hybrid cloud environment. Next, you will learn to provision virtual machines and instances to these platform providers, and manage and control the lifecycle of these resources. You will also get to know about automating provisioning. Moving on, you’ll get to grips with the management of resources using policies, events, conditions, and actions. You’ll also learn to monitor these resources from a single pane of glass. Finally, the book covers viewing capacity and utilization trends to optimize the overall hybrid cloud infrastructure, and also introduces you to supported APIs. By end of the book, you will be able to deploy and use Red Hat CloudForms.

"Hybrid Cloud Management with Red Hat CloudForms" is a book written for a very niche market. Most people in IT understand managing private or public clouds, but using a specific tool designed to manage both types of clouds systems and track and report on them merged into one is quite an amazing feat. This book does just that. You get a step by step process of how to use Red Hat CloudForm to provision, manage, bill, control and and govern resources across different types of cloud deployments.You'll learn how to install Red Hat CloudForms, build a hybrid environment, provision instances from different cloud providers, understand life cycle management to help setup quotas, and automate your instances. You'll understand how to automate workflows with events, policies, and conditions to create actions. You'll understand how to properly monitor your hybrid infrastructure and setup chargebacks and alerts. Additional, you'll get familiar with how to optimize the entire system and how to use the Red Hat CloudForm API with other systems.It walks you through most things, but could do a better job explaining things a bit more. I had to "google" a few things for more information, but overall this book will get you up and running. If you are using Red Hat CloudForms, or thinking about it, please read this book first.

A good book for those using Red Hat's CloudForms.This book is generously illustrated and clearly written. It seems to lack a little in 'overview' material, so it makes a better operations manual than a reference book.The book explains many useful features that cloud operators will find invaluable. It's an easy start to learning cloud management.For CloudForms users, this book will be a good read.
