This book is for OpenStack administrators, cloud and enterprise architects, and system and DevOps engineers looking to launch a private cloud with OpenStack. If you’re a cloud advisor, consultant, or evangelist, you’ll benefit from the expert insights, and if you’re a software developer or system operator aiming to accelerate your development cycle and agility, this book will help you bridge the gap between these roles. Basic knowledge of OpenStack, along with a prior understanding of systems, virtualization, and networking, is recommended.
