Chapter 1. Product Introduction
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform provides the foundation to build a private or public
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud on top of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It offers a massively
scalable, fault-tolerant platform for the development of cloud-enabled workloads.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform is packaged so that available physical hardware can
be turned into a private, public, or hybrid cloud platform including:
Fully distributed object storage
Persistent block-level storage
Virtual-machine provisioning engine and image storage
Authentication and authorization mechanism
Integrated networking
Web browser-based GUI for both users and administration.
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform IaaS cloud is implemented by a collection of
interacting services that control its computing, storage, and networking resources. The cloud is
managed using a web-based interface which allows administrators to control, provision, and
automate OpenStack resources. Additionally, the OpenStack infrastructure is facilitated through an
extensive API, which is also available to end users of the cloud.
