Charmed OpenStack
Charmed OpenStack is a deployment and operations platform for OpenStack, built using Juju charms to automate the installation, configuration, scaling, and management of OpenStack clouds. It leverages Canonical's Juju orchestration tool and the Charmed Operator Framework to provide a model-driven approach, simplifying complex cloud infrastructure tasks. This platform is designed to reduce operational overhead and ensure high availability for enterprise-grade OpenStack deployments.
Developers and operators should use Charmed OpenStack when deploying and managing production OpenStack clouds, as it automates tedious configuration and scaling processes, reducing human error and downtime. It is particularly valuable for organizations needing reliable, scalable private or hybrid cloud infrastructure, such as telecom providers, financial institutions, or large enterprises with strict compliance requirements. Learning it is essential for roles focused on cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or site reliability engineering in OpenStack environments.
