|
<para>A multi-site OpenStack environment is one in which services,
|
|
located in more than one data center, are used to provide the
|
|
overall solution. Usage requirements of different multi-site
|
|
clouds may vary widely, but they share some common needs.
|
|
OpenStack is capable of running in a multi-region
|
|
configuration. This enables some parts of OpenStack to
|
|
effectively manage a group of sites as a single cloud. With
|
|
careful planning in the design phase, OpenStack can act as an
|
|
excellent multi-site cloud solution for a multitude of
|
|
needs.</para>
|
|
<para>Some use cases that might indicate a need for a multi-site
|
|
deployment of OpenStack include:</para>
