There are also a series of security measures and best practices regarding the OpenStack cloud platform, with major projects belonging to an open source cloud computing platform. The main function is to build and manage the environment of public cloud, Cloud computing#Private cloud and Cloud computing#Hybrid cloud, and provide a complete Infrastructure as a service solution. Users can create and manage virtual machines, storage, and network resources through virtualization.
Composition of OpenStack Cloud Platform
The OpenStack cloud platform is composed of a series of related projects, each with its own functions and components, such as:
Nova: A project used to manage computing resources, responsible for creating and managing virtual machine instances.
Neutron: A project used to manage network resources, providing network virtualization and the ability to define network topology.
Cinder: A project used to manage block storage resources and provide persistent block storage services.
Swift: a project used to manage Object storage resources, providing highly scalable and reliable Object storage services.
Glance: A project used to manage image resources, responsible for storing and managing virtual machine images.
Keystone: A project used for identity authentication and authorization, responsible for managing users, services, and roles.
Heat: A project used to orchestrate applications and services, which can automate the deployment and management of complex application stacks.
OpenStack aims to provide a highly scalable, flexible, customizable and reliable cloud platform, so that users can build and manage Cloud computing#Private cloud, public cloud or Cloud computing#Hybrid cloud environments according to their own needs. This platform provides rich features and APIs, supports multiple virtualization technologies and storage backend, allowing users to flexibly configure and expand cloud infrastructure. Due to the open-source nature of OpenStack, it has also promoted innovation and cooperation in the field of cloud computing.
The OpenStack cloud platform itself is secure, but its security is still closely related to configuration, deployment, and management. Security measures are mainly about authentication and authorization, network security, data security, log monitoring, security patches and updates, backup and Disaster recovery, training managers to improve awareness, etc. Properly configured and managed by users, using appropriate security measures and best practices, can ensure the security of cloud platforms. Jtti has extensive experience in managing OpenStack cloud platforms. Today, based on the mature OpenStack cloud computing platform, Jtti deploys, consolidates, and virtualizes large-scale computing, storage, and network device clusters to build massive cloud resource pools. By advanced scheduling of computing nodes, dedicated machines are implemented to ensure that every user enjoys flexible, efficient, and high-performance IT cloud computing services.
