Abstract
The purpose of this project is to learn about OpenStack Cloud infrastructure-as-aService Platform (IaaS) through manual installation of core OpenStack cloud services and to create an automated cloud deployment script using BASH shell scripting. The project refactors and updates a previous master’s project by Kunal Sherje. The automated cloud deployment script is used for learning purposes only and not production cloud deployments. In the process of deploying, creating, and scripting OpenStack services I have developed a deeper understanding through hands-on experience working with the OpenStack Platform.
