Summary
In this chapter, we have put to use all that we learned in the previous chapters and saw the cloud in action. We have used both the GUI and the CLI method to achieve this. We have discussed tenant and user management, understood different types of networks in the context of OpenStack, and set up a provider network and a tenant network. We looked at security groups and key pairs. Finally, we launched our first VM (IaaS) in a self-service fashion. We also got a flavor of what really happens behind the scenes and how all of this work together, which is a very critical element that aids in troubleshooting, if the need arises.
Now that we have a basic cloud functioning, in the next chapter we will discuss some more advanced topics.
