Chapter 5. Network Management
In the previous chapter, we prepared to launch an instance by importing disk images into Glance. The next preparation required for launching an instance is to create a virtual network for the instance to use. Neutron is the network management component in OpenStack. In this chapter, we'll look at how to create virtual networks and routers for the OpenStack instances to use. We will also look at some of the underlying plumbing that is used to support the virtual networks.
