OpenStack Services Overview and Features

Horizon provides a web-based graphical user interface for managing OpenStack compute, storage, and networking services through dashboards. It allows cloud administrators and users to access and manage services like Nova and Keystone. Developers can also extend the dashboard's functionality. Keystone authenticates users and controls access to OpenStack tools using tokens. Neutron creates virtual networks and interfaces and attaches them to networking products. Glance acts as an image service catalog for VM images that can then be used by Nova to create VMs on servers. Cinder provides block storage services for persistent storage. RabbitMQ is used as the message queue to coordinate operations and status updates between OpenStack services and supports multiple protocols for high availability and scalability.

Horizon:

❖ Provides web-based user interface for Openstack service.

❖ OpenStack Horizon is a web-based graphical interface that cloud administrators


and users can access to manage OpenStack compute, storage and networking
services.
❖ Horizon is the execution of the OpenStack dashboard, providing a web-based user
interface to OpenStack services like Nova and Keystone.
❖ OpenStack Horizon offers three versions of management dashboards: a User
Dashboard, a System Dashboard and a Settings Dashboard.
❖ Cloud admins are able to customise visual elements of the Horizon interface,
including the navigation bar, tables, alerts and other elements.
❖ Developers can also extend any existing dashboard to include more functionality by
building an application that integrates with the dashboard.

2. Keystone:

❖ Grants users access and process access to Openstack tools based on Keystone
authentication token.

3. Neutron:

❖ Creates virtual network and network interfaces;


❖ attached to proprietary vendor networking products.
❖ Neutron is an OpenStack project to provide “network connectivity as a service”
between interface devices (e.g., vNICs) managed by other OpenStack services
(e.g., nova).

4. Glance:

❖ Generates VM images.
❖ Glance is a catalogue of VMS uploaded and made available to your [Link]
is where the idea of Openstack as a cloud operating system really manifests
[Link] images can be all kinds of VMs,this means there will be many different
versions across different platforms,all dispatched from a common source.

5. Nova:

❖ Nova is the OpenStack project that provides a way to provision compute


instances (aka virtual servers).
❖ Nova supports creating virtual machines, bare metal servers (through the use of
ironic), and has limited support for system containers
❖ Fetches VM images from Openstack's image service and creates a VM on the target
server.
6. Cinder:

❖ Includes disk files,like logs,and [Link] object storage,block storage allows you
to append files.
❖ OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder) is open source software designed to create
and manage a service that provides persistent data storage to cloud
computing applications.
❖ Cinder is the code name for the OpenStack Block Storage project.
❖ OpenStack Block Storage provisions and manages block devices known as Cinder
volumes.

7. Rabbit mq:

❖ OpenStack uses a message queue to coordinate operations and status information


among services.
❖ The message queue service typically runs on the controller node.
❖ RabbitMQ is one of the most popular open source message brokers.
❖ RabbitMQ is lightweight and easy to deploy on premises and in the cloud.
❖ It supports multiple messaging protocols.
❖ RabbitMQ can be deployed in distributed and federated configurations to meet high-
scale, high-availability requirements.
❖ RabbitMQ is a message-queueing software also known as a message broker or
queue manage.
❖ It is software where queues are defined, to which applications connect in order to
transfer a message or messages.
