Get started with OpenStack¶

The OpenStack project is an open source cloud computing platform for all

types of clouds, which aims to be simple to implement, massively

scalable, and feature rich. Developers and cloud computing technologists

from around the world create the OpenStack project.

OpenStack provides an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution

through a set of interrelated services. Each service offers an

Application Programming Interface (API) that facilitates this

integration. Depending on your needs, you can install some or all

services.

The OpenStack services¶

The

OpenStack project navigator

lets you browse the OpenStack services that make up the OpenStack architecture.

The services are categorized per the service type and release series.
