Why and how we wrote this book
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
We wrote this book to guide you through designing an OpenStack cloud
|
|
architecture. This guide identifies design considerations for common
|
|
cloud use cases and provides examples.
|
|
|
|
The Architecture Design Guide was written in a book sprint format, which
|
|
is a facilitated, rapid development production method for books. The
|
|
Book Sprint was facilitated by Faith Bosworth and Adam Hyde of Book
|
|
Sprints, for more information, see the Book Sprints website
|
|
(www.booksprints.net).
|
|
|
|
This book was written in five days during July 2014 while exhausting the
|
|
M&M, Mountain Dew and healthy options supply, complete with juggling
|
|
entertainment during lunches at VMware's headquarters in Palo Alto.
|
|
|
|
We would like to thank VMware for their generous hospitality, as well as
|
|
our employers, Cisco, Cloudscaling, Comcast, EMC, Mirantis, Rackspace,
|
|
Red Hat, Verizon, and VMware, for enabling us to contribute our time. We
|
|
would especially like to thank Anne Gentle and Kenneth Hui for all of
|
|
their shepherding and organization in making this happen.
