Abstract:
OpenStack is an open cloud computing software platform that allows the users to create Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud environments suited for all types of deployments and environments (prod, pre-prod, test, dev, etc.). The platform is backed-up by a large and active community that continuously improves it, thus making it a serious competitor in the today’s cloud market. This paper presents a complete experimental work for IaaS environment creation with OpenStack as an alternative to others presented in the public literature. It can provide the baseline for the future integration of different modules, e.g., between OpenStack and OpenDaylight (Open Source Software Defined Networking Platform), where OpenDaylight is used to create networking services, together with the default module provided by OpenStack (called Neutron). Developers, researchers, academic members and user communities can use this paper information as a practical guide to create their own cloud environments, allowing integration of their own work in many possible contexts: cloud, Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Data Centers, and so on.
