Question

OpenStack component is used for compute services?

Answer 1

OpenStack Networking consists of the neutron-server, a database for persistent storage, and any number of plug-in agents, which provide other services such as interfacing with native Linux networking mechanisms, external devices, or SDN controllers.

OpenStack Networking is entirely standalone and can be deployed to a dedicated host. If your deployment uses a controller host to run centralized Compute components, you can deploy the Networking server to that specific host instead.

OpenStack Networking integrates with various OpenStack components:

OpenStack Identity service (keystone) is used for authentication and authorization of API requests.
OpenStack Compute service (nova) is used to plug each virtual NIC on the VM into a particular network.
OpenStack Dashboard (horizon) is used by administrators and project users to create and manage network services through a web-based graphical interface.
