Book Description

Most organizations are seeking methods to improve business agility because they have realized just having a cloud is not enough. Being able to improve application deployments, reduce infrastructure downtime, and eliminate daily manual tasks can only be accomplished through some sort of automation.

Packed with real-world OpenStack administrative tasks, this book will walk you through working examples and explain how these tasks can be automated using one of the most popular open source automation tools―Ansible.

We will start with a brief overview of OpenStack and Ansible and highlight some best practices. Each chapter will provide an introduction to handling various Cloud Operator administration tasks such as creating multiple users/tenants, setting up Multi-Tenant Isolation, customizing your clouds quotas, taking instance snapshots, evacuating compute hosts for maintenance, and running cloud health checks, and a step-by-step tutorial on how to automate these tasks with Ansible.

What you will learn

• Efficiently execute OpenStack administrative tasks
• Familiarize yourself with how Ansible works and assess the defined best practices
• Create Ansible playbooks and roles
• Automate tasks to customize your OpenStack cloud
• Review OpenStack automation considerations when automating administrative tasks
• Examine and automate advanced OpenStack tasks and designated use cases
• Get a high-level overview of OpenStack and the current production-ready projects
• Deep dive into OpenStack CLI tools and find out how to use them

書籍描述

大多數組織都在尋求提高業務敏捷性的方法，因為他們已經意識到僅僅擁有一個雲端是不夠的。只有通過某種形式的自動化，才能改善應用程式部署、減少基礎設施停機時間並消除日常手動任務。

本書充滿了實際的 OpenStack 管理任務，將通過實例演示並解釋如何使用最受歡迎的開源自動化工具 - Ansible 來自動化這些任務。

我們將從簡要介紹 OpenStack 和 Ansible 開始，並強調一些最佳實踐。每個章節都將介紹處理各種雲端操作員管理任務的方法，例如創建多個使用者/租戶、設置多租戶隔離、自定義雲端配額、拍攝實例快照、為維護而撤離計算主機、運行雲端健康檢查，以及使用 Ansible 自動化這些任務的逐步教學。

你將學到什麼

• 高效執行 OpenStack 管理任務


• 熟悉 Ansible 的工作原理並評估定義的最佳實踐


• 創建 Ansible playbook 和角色


• 自動化任務以自定義你的 OpenStack 雲端


• 在自動化管理任務時審查 OpenStack 的自動化考慮事項


• 檢查並自動化高級的 OpenStack 任務和指定的使用案例


• 獲得 OpenStack 的高層級概述和目前可用於生產的專案


• 深入研究 OpenStack 的 CLI 工具並了解如何使用它們
