  <p><strong>The OpenStack Security Guide provides best practices learned by cloud operators while hardening their OpenStack deployments.
</strong>
 This book was written by a close community of security experts from the
   <a href="https://launchpad.net/~openstack-ossg">
    OpenStack Security Group
   </a>
   in an intense week-long effort at an undisclosed location. One of the goals for this book is to bring together interested members to capture their collective knowledge and give it to the OpenStack community.
