For those seeking practical expertise on OpenStack Flamingo, and the services that drive modern private and enterprise cloud environments, you need look no further. With this book, you gain immediate access to the latest insights on OpenStack 2025.2 Flamingo. This book is for those who want to practically experience how OpenStack works, how its services connect, and how to manage them with confidence in real-world deployments. Inside, you'll master the core OpenStack services that matter most, such as Keystone for identity, Glance for images, Nova for compute, Neutron and OVN for networking, Cinder for block storage, Placement for resource tracking, Skyline for web-based management, and Gnocchi and Prometheus for monitoring and metrics. I will teach you to manage users, projects, roles, tokens, images, instances, networks, routers, floating IPs, security groups, volumes, and service endpoints. It also covers automation with Terraform, validation, troubleshooting, and operational visibility for a strong and reliable cloud administration. I strongly recommend this book to cloud engineers, system administrators, DevOps practitioners, architects, and technical learners who want hands-on, production-oriented knowledge of OpenStack Flamingo. Whether your goal is building a lab, improving operational skills, or understanding the architecture behind a modern cloud, this book will show you a clear path through the platform's essential services and workflows. Key Learnings Proactively deploy and configure core OpenStack services in a structured, production-focused environment. Understand Keystone identity management, including users, roles, projects, domains, LDAP, and federation workflows. Build and manage images, metadata, and secure image delivery with Glance and related services. Utilize Nova, flavors, hypervisors, quotas, and placement concepts to provision and administer compute resources. Construct OpenStack networking using Neutron, provider networks, tenant networks, routers, and floating IPs. Implement OVN-based networking with logical switches, logical routers, metadata services, and encapsulation technologies. Maximize storage potential with Cinder, streamline volume attachment workflows, and seamlessly integrate block storage strategies. Automate OpenStack infrastructure using Terraform for repeatable provisioning, validation, state tracking, and modular design. Utilize Gnocchi and Prometheus to proactively monitor cloud health with metrics, exporters, alert systems, and archive policies. Identify and resolve common issues with OpenStack services, networking, authentication, and deployment using practical validation techniques.
