This book is geared towards OpenStack cloud administrators or operators with a novice to intermediate level of experience in managing OpenStack-based clouds who are looking to build or enhance their cloud using the networking service known as Neutron. By laying down a basic installation of OpenStack based on the installation guide found at docs.openstack.org, the reader should be able to follow the examples laid out in the book to obtain a functional understanding of the various components of OpenStack Networking using open-source reference architectures.
