preface
My first exposure to OpenStack came in the summer of 2011 while I was working at
the University of Kentucky. My coworker and friend, Brent Salisbury, and I were
invited to meet with a Fortune 50 technology company to discuss a product develop-
ment project. During our meeting, the project’s executive sponsor gave us the option
to work with existing commercial tools or investigate the use of a community project
called OpenStack. Naturally, we chose to work with the framework we knew nothing
about, and so began our OpenStack journey. Nothing came of the product develop-
ment project, but the OpenStack encounter, as it turned out, became a turning point
in our professional, and in my case academic, careers. Brent left the university and
cofounded a startup that was acquired by Docker, where he currently works. I, on the
other hand, transferred from a master’s to a doctoral program and wrote this book.
By early 2013, the Grizzly release of OpenStack somewhat resembled current ver-
sions, but instabilities due to rapid feature inclusion prevented us from considering
OpenStack production-ready for our enterprise environment. But although I was not
ready to put my neck on the line with OpenStack for the enterprise, research comput-
ing was another story. As part of a graduate independent study class, I documented
the use cases, architecture, and strategy around using OpenStack in research comput-
ing. In addition, I described the process and eventual adoption of the platform as a
private cloud for our enterprise.
I used figure 1 in my original academic report to represent the component-level dis-
tribution of OpenStack. I suspect cooking an elephant, much like eating one, must be
done a piece at a time. Far too often in technology, we accept technological isolation as
an organizationally sound practice—“I am a storage guy,” or “I am a network girl”—but
this is paramount to someone only eating one part of the elephant. In this book I’ve
