OpenStack is an open-source platform for building cloud computing environments. With this system, you can create a fully functional private or public cloud on your own infrastructure. The ecosystem allows you to manage all the components used in cloud environments, such as user access, cloud resource images, block, file, and object storage, as well as virtualized networking and its functions across different layers. Most importantly, OpenStack enables you to manage compute resources – from physical servers, through popular virtual machines, to container clusters or single containers. Additionally, OpenStack provides many higher-level services such as databases, load balancers, telemetry, or DNS services, all delivered in the “as a Service” model.
