Introduction

So far in this book, we have discussed how to build and operate an OpenStack Cloud. By necessity, we were exceedingly pragmatic in doing so and erred on the side of showing you the most useful bits to get you up-and-running. In this chapter, we will cover a number of OpenStack-related projects, functions, and features that will enhance your understanding and ability to effectively design, implement, and operate your OpenStack Cloud. So, grab your super-hero cape and let's get started.
