Summary

This book explains the design and implementation principles of OpenStack. Based on the Train release, it covers everything from how to learn OpenStack to its design and implementation, including the history of OpenStack's growth, the basic workflow of OpenStack development, how to analyze OpenStack source code, virtualization—the cornerstone of OpenStack—the common technologies used across its many projects, and the implementation of OpenStack's major components and projects. Its goal is to help readers form a topology map of OpenStack and its main components and projects. Written in accessible language, the book guides readers quickly into the world of OpenStack and enables them to make their own contributions.

Editor's review

Co-authored by Intel Asia-Pacific Research & Development Ltd., OpenStack Design and Implementation (3rd Edition) is an authoritative technical work that dissects the internals of OpenStack, the mainstream open-source cloud platform. Rather than a mere operations guide, it focuses on OpenStack's architectural design and the implementation principles of its core modules, deconstructing from the code level the elegance of its distributed system design. Compared with the previous two editions, the 3rd Edition keeps pace with community development, covering core evolution across several major releases from Newton to Stein, and offers in-depth interpretation of architectural updates and optimizations in key projects such as Cinder, Neutron, and Nova.

As an editor, I believe the book's greatest value lies in its unique "designer's perspective." It moves beyond the conventional view of ordinary users and operators to address the underlying logic of system design—such as the implementation of message-queue RPC, abstraction of database models, and concurrency and scheduling mechanisms. The extensive use of real code snippets tightly integrates theoretical analysis with engineering practice, offering great insight into the collaboration and governance model of a very-large-scale open-source project. The Intel team's background ensures the accuracy and forward-looking nature of the technical analysis, and the discussion of enterprise concerns such as performance optimization and stability assurance is particularly valuable.

For readers who wish to truly master OpenStack and intend to contribute to the community or build secondary development on it, this book provides a rare roadmap. It helps readers build a complete knowledge framework for cloud platform system design; its value goes far beyond the use of specific tools to cultivating a mindset for solving complex distributed-system problems.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Intermediate and advanced developers with Linux and Python fundamentals who wish to gain an in-depth understanding of OpenStack architecture and principles
Cloud architects or technical leads who need to evaluate or customize underlying cloud platform solutions
Open-source enthusiasts contributing or intending to contribute to the OpenStack community
Faculty and students in universities or research institutions engaged in teaching and research on distributed systems and cloud computing

Not a good fit for

Beginner users who only need to learn OpenStack installation, deployment, and basic operations
Application developers seeking quick onboarding to application development without concern for underlying mechanisms

Reading tips

Read the first few chapters in order to build a macro understanding of OpenStack's overall architecture and common mechanisms, then delve into specific project chapters as needed
Whenever possible, read alongside a local OpenStack development environment or consult online code repositories directly to verify the code analysis in practice
For complex chapters, reread them and cross-reference official documentation, Blueprints, and other materials to grasp how design ideas evolved

FAQ

How does this book differ mainly from books such as the OpenStack Operations Guide or OpenStack in Action?

The core of this book is "design and implementation," focusing on dissecting the internal architecture, code implementation principles, and core mechanisms of OpenStack components. Operations or hands-on books typically focus on deploying, configuring, managing, and using the OpenStack platform. The former explains how to "build the car"; the latter are manuals for "driving" and "maintenance."

How much programming background is needed to read this book?

A solid command of Python is required, including the ability to understand intermediate features such as object-oriented design, decorators, and context managers. A good grasp of computer fundamentals such as operating systems, networking, and databases is also needed, because the book frequently involves concepts such as processes, threads, message queues, RESTful APIs, and SQLAlchemy.

What important content has been updated in the 3rd Edition compared with earlier editions?

The 3rd Edition tracks the rapid development of the OpenStack community and highlights updates including but not limited to: the impact of more modern microservice architecture and containerized deployment (such as Kolla), Cinder's multi-backend support and volume migration, Neutron's OVN and edge computing, Nova's Cyborg (accelerator resource management) and Placement (resource scheduling) services, and security and performance enhancements in projects such as Keystone and Glance. It reflects the evolution of cloud platform technology toward composability, scalability, and intelligent operations.

As a corporate R&D institution, its writing focuses on engineering practice and technology implementation rather than theoretical surveys or academic monographs. The library holds two of its works, OpenStack Design and Implementation (3rd Edition) and Edge Computing Technology and Applications, both in the programming and design category. Their topics are closely tied to frontier areas such as cloud computing platform building and edge computing applications, reflecting a practical orientation toward developers and engineers. Technical books written by corporate R&D teams like these typically emphasize architecture analysis, deployment processes, and problem solving in real scenarios, helping readers turn concepts into workable practical skills and offering some reference value to the relevant technical community.
