OpenStack
Open source cloud computing platform for building and managing public and private clouds, providing infrastructure as a service (IaaS) through a set of interrelated services including Compute (Nova), Object Storage (Swift), Block Storage (Cinder), Networking (Neutron), Identity (Keystone), Image (Glance), Orchestration (Heat), Database (Trove), DNS (Designate), and Load Balancer (Octavia). Each service exposes its own REST API; clients authenticate against Keystone and use the returned service catalog to discover per-region endpoints for the remaining services.
OpenStack publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Domains API, Endpoints API, Flavors API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Cloud Platform, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Open-Source, Virtualization, and Linux Foundation.
The OpenStack catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
OpenStack’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, and 10 more developer resources.
