Editor's review

Written by Zhong Xiaoping and published by Posts & Telecom Press, OpenStack Cloud Computing in Practice is a technical guide for cloud computing practitioners. The book systematically introduces the core components and deployment methods of OpenStack, the open-source cloud computing platform, covering the complete process from infrastructure to hands-on operation. The author, Zhong Xiaoping, has extensive practical experience in cloud computing; his writing style emphasizes practicality and operability, avoiding excessive theoretical exposition and instead guiding readers through clear steps and examples.

In terms of structure, the book works as a reference from beginner to intermediate level for OpenStack, with particular emphasis on the word "practice." It explains in detail the configuration and management of core services such as compute, storage, and networking, and offers approaches to troubleshooting and performance optimization. For IT professionals who wish to build a private cloud or gain a deeper understanding of IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), the book provides a solid technical path. Note, however, that OpenStack versions are updated frequently, so the content may be based on a specific version; readers should consult the latest official documentation when putting it into practice.

Overall, this is a technical manual focused on hands-on ability, and its value lies in translating complex cloud computing concepts into executable steps that help readers quickly build and manage an OpenStack platform in a real environment. For readers seeking theoretical depth or purely academic research, the book may seem somewhat superficial, but its pragmatic style is exactly what many engineers need.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Operations engineers with Linux fundamentals who want to learn OpenStack deployment
Enterprise IT technicians planning to build private cloud infrastructure
Computer science students seeking a reference for cloud computing practice projects
Technology enthusiasts interested in open-source cloud platforms who want to deepen their understanding through hands-on practice

Not a good fit for

Complete beginners with no Linux or networking background who expect a zero-prerequisite introduction
Macro-level managers who only need to understand cloud computing concepts rather than specific technical implementations

Reading tips

Before reading, make sure you have basic virtualization and networking knowledge; familiarize yourself in advance with KVM and Linux command-line operations
Read while practicing: deploy chapter by chapter in a lab environment and consult community documentation when you encounter problems
Pay attention to differences between OpenStack versions and focus on understanding architectural principles rather than memorizing commands, so as to adapt to technology iteration

FAQ

Is this book suitable for complete OpenStack beginners?

It suits beginners with some Linux and networking background, but absolute beginners may need to build up the fundamentals first.

Are the operation steps in the book outdated?

OpenStack is updated frequently, so it is best to focus on the book's architecture and approach and refer to the latest official version for specific commands.

Can this book help me pass relevant certifications?

The book focuses on hands-on operations and can serve as a supplementary practical guide for certification study, but you need to review systematically with the official exam syllabus.

About the author

钟小平 Author

Zhong Xiaoping is an author of computer technology books. Public information about him is limited, and two works can currently be confirmed, both centered on the practical application and system management of information technology. Among them, OpenStack Cloud Computing in Practice focuses on the deployment and operation of an open-source cloud computing platform, for readers who wish to master the building of cloud environments; Network Operating Systems: Windows Server 2012 R2 Configuration and Management (2nd Edition) systematically explains methods for configuring and managing server operating systems, serving learners in the field of network management. Judging from the subject matter, his writing emphasizes technical practice and operational guidance, with common categories being general computing and programming design, closely tied to frontline operations and development needs. Because little personal background is available, his authorial image is mainly reflected through these two works, from which readers can learn about his technical grounding and style of expression in cloud computing and network operating systems.

许宁 Author

Xu Ning is an author about whom limited public information is available; his nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name have not been clearly recorded. Two works by him are currently known: Spring Heart and OpenStack Cloud Computing in Practice. Judging from their subject matter, his writing spans two quite distant fields—foreign literature and general computing—an unusual combination for a single author. Spring Heart is a literary work whose lyrical title suggests a focus on emotion and inner experience, while OpenStack Cloud Computing in Practice addresses the practical application of cloud computing technology, reflecting the author's professional grounding in information technology. Because public materials are limited, further details about Xu Ning's life, education, and creative development cannot be provided; readers can only form an impression of his writing from the works themselves. The marked differences in style and purpose between the two books also indicate diverse writing interests that await further documentation.
