Automação de implantação de ambiente de computação em nuvem

Abstract

Cloud computing is a frequently used technology today, but one which is very complex in the process of implementing, stabilizing and maintaining environments (clusters) available to users. For OpenStack-based environments, this process results from a constant flow of human interaction, ranging on average from 2 to 4 hours of processing in average cases, without interference and debugging, and can take days in the worst cases, taking into account the processing done by the machine in this environment. In order to facilitate the implementation flow of a cloud infrastructure, the automation of this process is considered, aiming to reduce human interaction as much as possible, sending the installation, configuration and communication of software used in the cloud computing environment as an automatic task to the machine. Using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and software libraries for managing bare metal servers and Virtual Machines, and an orchestration engine, the goal is to transform the process of connecting and completely configuring the cloud environment into an automated script. As a result, this work generated strategies for building an API for deploying a cloud computing environment, strategies for adding new computers to a stable, functioning cloud environment, and a validation script that, when executed, configures a complete OpenStack infrastructure on a controller machine that initially has only an operating system and some type of Internet access.
