Summary

In this chapter, we looked at the concepts involved in scaling and load-balancing OpenStack services. We have also touched upon the concepts involved in making OpenStack highly available. Now that an OpenStack cluster is up and running and we have discussed how it could be scaled to meet demand, in the next chapter, we are going to take a look at monitoring the cluster to keep track of its health and help diagnose trouble when it arises.
