OpenStack Deployment Guide
Discover Canonical’s proven OpenStack implementation process
OpenStack is one of the most active open source projects in the world. It is an essential component of private cloud infrastructure for countless businesses, and over the last few years, it has evolved to become the de-facto standard for implementing cloud computing platforms. Yet despite its popularity, many organisations still struggle with their OpenStack implementations.
The challenge of deploying OpenStack
Implementing any cloud infrastructure entails several challenges. These stem from the fact that the cloud is a complex environment that touches all the layers of the stack, from hardware through networking to automation frameworks. Lack of resources, knowledge, experience, or tools can all stand in the way of a successful OpenStack deployment — but businesses can overcome these challenges by following a proven adoption process.
