OpenStack is a powerful open source Software for cloud computing. If we have our own hardware, deploying OpenStack on it; we can easily create a powerful cloud computing environment. If we have a certain important and secure computing is to be performed where we don't want to be using AWS, Google Cloud or Azure and want to create our own Cloud environment, we should be using the OpenStack.
It is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed and provisioned through APIs with common authentication mechanisms.
Dashboards are also available, giving administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface. There are OpenStack CLI tools and SDKs giving operators the flexibility to create OpenStack cloud applications in the language of their choice. Supported languages include Go, Python, Ruby, and Java.
Beyond standard Infrastructure-As-A-Service, IAAS functionality, additional components provide orchestration, fault management and service management amongst other services to provide operators flexibility to customise their infrastructure and ensure high availability of user applications.
There are many OpenStack services that we are at including its deployment. These are NOVA, ZUN, Swift, Cinder, Manila...etc. Here is a diagram showing various software that are being used in the OpenStack realm. These are mostly the Open Source versions of the respective software that are being used in the enterprise clouds, namely the : AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
We would highly recommend OpenStack for military services. Since, they usually involve sensitive data, we would be better off running analytics and AI on those in a secluded environment. Please contact us for consulting!
