~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|
|
|
This book examines some of the most common uses for OpenStack clouds,
|
|
and explains the considerations for each use case. Cloud architects may
|
|
use this book as a comprehensive guide by reading all of the use cases,
|
|
but it is also possible to review only the chapters which pertain to a
|
|
specific use case. The use cases covered in this guide include:
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`General purpose<generalpurpose>`: Uses common components that
|
|
address 80% of common use cases.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Compute focused<compute-focus>`: For compute intensive workloads
|
|
such as high performance computing (HPC).
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Storage focused<storage-focus>`: For storage intensive workloads
|
|
such as data analytics with parallel file systems.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Network focused<network-focus>`: For high performance and
|
|
reliable networking, such as a :term:`content delivery network (CDN)`.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Multi-site<multi-site>`: For applications that require multiple
|
|
site deployments for geographical, reliability or data locality
|
|
reasons.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Hybrid cloud<hybrid>`: Uses multiple disparate clouds connected
|
|
either for failover, hybrid cloud bursting, or availability.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Massively scalable<massively-scalable>`: For cloud service
|
|
providers or other large installations.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Specialized cases<specialized>`: Architectures that have not
|
|
previously been covered in the defined use cases.
