OpenStack Services on Your Hosted OpenStack Cloud
APIs and CLI
Functionality for administering the hosted private cloud resources are available via API first and foremost. Additionally, a powerful CLI leverages those APIs to give cloud administrators fast and easy access.
Cloud Management Dashboard
Web-based GUI for users to access their assigned resources. Creating VMs, networks, firewall rules, etc. can all be done by users of the hosted private cloud if the administrators have delegated permissions. Some administrative functions are also available via this GUI, but it is a subset of the API and CLI administrative functionality.
Orchestration
Heat orchestrates the infrastructure resources for a cloud application based on templates in the form of text files that can be treated like code. Heat provides both an OpenStack-native ReST API and a CloudFormation-compatible Query API.
Compute
KVM based virtual machines can be created, scaled, and destroyed easily through an interface or via authenticated API calls.
Block Storage
Persistent storage volumes can be created, deleted, and attached to VMs easily. OpenMetal Private Cloud Cores come with high-availability (HA) Ceph based block storage by default. Non-HA LVM/direct disk storage is also fully supported.
Object Storage Access
Standardized Rest API access to various types of object storage. The hyper-converged cloud cores have HA Ceph-based object storage by default. Non-HA LVM/direct disk storage is also fully supported.
Network as a Service
Create routers, switches, and security groups. Security groups handle automated firewalling on the hardware node for VMs. Provision networks and organize rules for public and private IP address usage.
Identity
All parts of the hosted private cloud leverage a universal and secure authentication system.
Virtual Machine Images
A catalog of VM images are available to spin up servers easily. Additional VM images can be manually created and stored for use based on your needs.
