OpenStack
Seach Cloud Computing, Wednesday, February 7th, 2024
OpenStack is a collection of open source software modules and tools that provide organizations with a framework to create and manage both public cloud and private cloud infrastructure. It's considered one of the most active open source projects worldwide.
OpenStack delivers infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) functionality -- it pools, provisions and manages large concentrations of compute, storage and network resources. These resources, which include bare-metal hardware, virtual machines (VMs) and containers, are managed through application programming interfaces (APIs), as well as an OpenStack dashboard. Other OpenStack components provide orchestration, fault management and services intended to support reliable, high availability operations.
Businesses and service providers can deploy OpenStack on premises in the data center to build a private cloud, in the cloud to enable or drive public cloud platforms, and at the network edge for distributed computing systems.
