An overview of openstack architecture

Cloud Computing concept refers to both the applications delivered as services over the Internet and the servers and system software in the datacenters that provide those services. These solutions offer pools of virtualized computing resources, paid on a pay-per-use basis, and drastically reduce the initial investment and maintenance costs. Efficient and flexible resource management is the main focus for the cloud solutions on the market as well as scalability and adaptability to new environments. Openstack exceeded the market as a scalable, performant and highly adaptive open source architecture for both public and private cloud solutions as well as leveraging from hardware resources either they be professional or entry level. This paper gives an overview of Openstack software components functionalities in order to design and implement unique cloud computing solutions to fit enterprises purposes.
