Modern infrastructure is changing rapidly. Organizations are increasingly moving away from proprietary virtualization platforms and embracing open, scalable, and automation-driven private cloud platforms that give them full control over their infrastructure.
OpenStack Private Cloud in Production is a practical, hands-on guide that shows you how to design, deploy, and operate a modern private cloud using OpenStack and its surrounding ecosystem of production-grade technologies.
Rather than focusing on theory, this book walks you through the real-world architecture used by modern infrastructure teams: integrating OpenStack compute services, Ceph distributed storage, Neutron software-defined networking, Kubernetes container platforms, and Infrastructure-as-Code automation tools into a fully operational private cloud environment.
Through structured chapters, practical examples, and guided labs, you will learn how to build an enterprise-ready cloud platform capable of running both virtual machine workloads and containerized applications at scale.
Inside this book, you will learn how to:
- Understand OpenStack's modular architecture and core cloud services
- Deploy a production-ready OpenStack cluster using Kolla-Ansible
- Build highly scalable storage infrastructure using Ceph
- Implement software-defined networking with Neutron
- Deploy Kubernetes clusters on top of OpenStack infrastructure
- Migrate workloads from VMware environments into OpenStack
- Automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and Ansible
- Monitor cloud infrastructure with Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry
- Run production applications inside your private cloud platform
- Design highly available, scalable multi-node cloud architectures
To reinforce the concepts covered throughout the book, each chapter includes hands-on practice labs that guide you through deploying real infrastructure components. The book culminates in a full-stack capstone project, where you build a fully operational OpenStack private cloud capable of hosting virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, and production workloads.
In addition, the book includes detailed appendices covering:
- OpenStack CLI and API reference commands
- production configuration templates
- troubleshooting and failure recovery procedures
- security and governance best practices
- future infrastructure roadmap and advanced cloud projects
Whether you are building your first private cloud or modernizing an existing virtualization environment, this guide provides the practical knowledge required to deploy and operate production-grade OpenStack infrastructure.
This book is ideal for:
- Cloud engineers
- DevOps engineers
- Site reliability engineers (SREs)
- platform engineering teams
- infrastructure architects
- organizations migrating from VMware to open infrastructure platforms
If you want to learn how to build a modern, scalable, and automation-driven private cloud using OpenStack, this book will give you the practical skills needed to design, deploy, and operate it successfully.
