Description

OpenStack Neutron is an OpenStack component that provides networking as a service for other OpenStack services to architect networks and create virtual machines through its API. This API lets you define network connectivity in order to leverage network capabilities to cloud deployments. Through this practical book, you will build a strong foundational knowledge of Neutron, and will architect and build an OpenStack cloud using advanced networking features. We start with an introduction to OpenStack Neutron and its various components, including virtual switching, routing, FWaaS, VPNaaS, and LBaaS. You’ll also get hands-on by installing OpenStack and Neutron and its components, and use agents and plugins to orchestrate network connectivity and build a virtual switching infrastructure. Moving on, you’ll get to grips with the HA routing capabilities utilizing VRRP and distributed virtual routers in Neutron. You’ll also discover load balancing fundamentals, including the difference between nodes, pools, pool members, and virtual IPs. You’ll discover the purpose of security groups and learn how to apply the security concept to your cloud/tenant/instance. Finally, you' ll configure virtual private networks that will allow you to avoid the use of SNAT and floating IPs when connecting to remote networks.

Who is this book for?

If you are an OpenStack-based cloud operator and administrator who is new to Neutron networking and wants to build your very own OpenStack cloud, then this book is for you. Prior networking experience and a physical server and network infrastructure is recommended to follow along with concepts demonstrated in the book.

  • • Review the components of OpenStack networking, including plugins, agents, and services, and learn how they work together to coordinate network operations

Having a good networking background in firewalls and load-balancers, this book helped me tremendously to get my lab working in no time. It goes in detail into how Neutron works, all the components. Last 4 chapters is where you get into the real life scenarios. It also gives good pointers on how Openstack networking evolved over time.If you are new to OpenStack and networking is your focus, you cannot go wrong with this book.

This book is a very good high level intro into OpenStack networking but just as the author prefaces, you must have a good handle on networking and system administration before hand. OpenStack has so many moving parts and its quite refreshing to get an understanding of a single piece of the puzzle. The explanations in this edition are more concise in comparison to the first edition which in my opinion had a lot extra material that caused it to be a little bit more confusing in a system with so much going in the background already.I was able to setup my environment with relative ease with minimal linux knowledge and mess around with the interface as it should be. I would still like a troubleshooting section but to be honest everything was relatively easy.

Neutron looks really pretty on the surface, but it is still a very complex system to digest. This book is highly recommended for configuring OpenStack Networking if you're using Neutron. As another reviewer recommended having this in your OpenStack library for Administration purposes, I couldn't agree more. The book is very clear, concise, and stays on track. Following along is a breeze and the detailed information is well worth the cost alone for this book.
