OpenStack Bootcamp By Vinoth Kumar Selvaraj 2017 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 1788293304 | PDF | 10 MB A focused and systematic introduction to OpenStack, the largest open source cloud platform, using practical examples and hands-on problems. About This Book * Explore all the new features of OpenStack's Mikata, Ocata, and Newton releases and get up to speed with OpenStack in no time * Learn something new each day to successfully build a private cloud platform * A fast-paced guide filled with best practices that will help you manage your virtual private cloud efficiently Who This Book Is For This book is for those who are already familiar with OpenStack's supporting technologies. It's ideal for cloud system engineers, system administrators, and technical architects who are moving from a virtualized environment to a cloud environment. Prior knowledge of cloud computing platforms and virtualization would be beneficial. If you are a system or cloud engineer, this is your go-to book! What You Will Learn * Understand the functions and features of each core component of OpenStack and a real-world comparison * Develop an understanding of the components of IaaS and PaaS clouds built with OpenStack * Get a high-level understanding of architectural design in OpenStack * Discover how you can use OpenStack Horizon with all of the OpenStack core components * Understand network traffic flow with Neutron * Build an OpenStack private cloud from scratch * Get hands-on training with the OpenStack command line, administration, and deployment In Detail OpenStack is developed by a thriving community of individual developers around the globe and is backed by most of the leading players in the cloud space today. OpenStack is a free and open source software platform for cloud computing, mostly deployed as an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). This book begins with the design principles of OpenStack and the available OpenStack distributions. You'll start by getting a fundamental understanding of the core concepts and then move on to a comparison of OpenStack components with real-life examples. Then, we'll show you the typical architecture of OpenStack clouds, how to configure each OpenStack component, and debugging techniques. Later, we focus on the latest releases of OpenStack: Mikata, Newton, and Ocata. You'll be introduced to identity, image, networking, and the compute service. You'll also get a complete understanding of how to install, configure, and administrate your entire virtual private cloud. You will also be provided with hands-on exercises to unleash the power of each component in OpenStack. Finally, you'll see an overview of all the optional projects available under the Openstack umbrella. Style and approach This fast-paced book delivers comprehensive hands-on training, so you can jump straight into the practical exercises along with in-depth coverage of OpenStack technologies. It also provides hands-on exercises, analysis of real-world cloud use cases and operation scenarios, covering design, customization and optimization.
 David Chandler, "Ontopolitics in the Anthropocene: An Introduction to Mapping, Sensing and Hacking " English | ISBN: 1138570575 | 2018 | 260 pages | EPUB | 682 KB The Anthropocene captures more than a debate over how to address the problems of climate change and global warming. Increasingly, it is seen to signify the end of the modern condition itself and potentially to open up a new era of political possibilities. This is the first book to look at the new forms of governance emerging in the epoch of the Anthropocene. Forms of rule, which seek to govern without the handrails of modernist assumptions of 'command and control' from the top-down; taking on board new ontopolitical understandings of the need to govern on the grounds of non-linearity, complexity and entanglement.  Ondori, "Ondori Embroidery: Creative Embroidery Designs" English | 1974 | ISBN: 0870404520 | 56 pages | PDF | 45.8 MB Chock full of color photos of very cute and creative embroidery designs on pillows, tablecloths, napkins, wall art, table settings, etc.  Olympic Volleyball Trivia Book: Everything You Need to Know about Olympic Volleyball: How Well Do You Know about Olympic Volleyball? by Mr BAKER PATRICIA English | August 11, 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09CGBRYPP | 51 pages | EPUB | 4.30 Mb Making its debut appearance as a demonstration sport way back at the 1924 Games in Paris, volleyball has come a long way in the Olympics.  Offshore Electrical Engineering Manual By Geoff MacAngus-Gerrard 2017 | 554 Pages | ISBN: 0123854989 | PDF | 15 MB Offshore Electrical Engineering Manual, Second Edition, is for electrical engineers working on offshore projects who require detailed knowledge of an array of equipment and power distribution systems. The book begins with coverage of different types of insulation, hot-spot temperatures, temperature rise, ambient air temperatures, basis of machine ratings, method of measurement of temperature rise by resistance, measurement of ambient air temperature. This is followed by coverage of AC generators, automatic voltage regulators, AC switchgear transformers, and programmable electronic systems. The emphasis throughout is on practical, ready-to-apply techniques that yield immediate and cost-effective benefits. The majority of the systems covered in the book operate at a nominal voltage of 24 y dc and, although it is not necessary for each of the systems to have separate battery and battery charger systems, the grouping criteria require more detailed discussion. The book also provides information on equipment such as dual chargers and batteries for certain vital systems, switchgear tripping/closing, and engine start batteries which are dedicated to the equipment they supply. In the case of engines which drive fire pumps, duplicate charges and batteries are also required. Packed with charts, tables, and diagrams, this work is intended to be of interest to both technical readers and to general readers. It covers electrical engineering in offshore situations, with much of the information gained in the North Sea. Some topics covered are offshore power requirements, generator selection, process drivers and starting requirements, control and monitoring systems, and cabling and equipment installationDiscusses how to perform inspections of electrical and instrument systems on equipment using appropriate regulations and specificationsExplains how to ensure electrical systems/components are maintained and production is uninterruptedDemonstrates how to repair, modify, and install electrical instruments ensuring compliance with current regulations and specificationsCovers specification, management, and technical evaluation of offshore electrical system designFeatures evaluation and optimization of electrical system options including DC/AC selection and offshore cabling designs  Eric Lybeck, "Norbert Elias and the Sociology of Education " English | ISBN: 1350041181 | 2019 | 232 pages | PDF | 3 MB [center]  No Apology Necessary Atheism Refuted: Eternal Causal Intelligence Affirmed A Comprehensive Compendium of Intelligent Refutations to Atheism by Mr. Gregory Lessing Garrett English | November 15, 2018 | ISBN: 1731420919 | 530 pages | EPUB | 0.64 Mb This book contains my writings, other apologetics writers, top scientists, thinkers, and scholars on the topics of Ontology, Evolutionary Theory, Theology, Biogenesis, Quantum Physics, Philosophy, Science, Physics, Scientism, and Epistemology, pertaining to the core topic of Refutations to Atheistic Materialism. Crucial to consider is the idea that it is not any one refutation or data point of evidence pointing to the plausibility of there being an Eternal Causal Intelligence that creates a case for the strong possibility of such an Eternal Causal Intelligence...a Creator. Rather, it is the summation of ALL such robust data points and proofs that culminates in an over-arching and inescapable conclusion that such a Creator is not only highly plausible, and therefore worthy of serious scientific, philosophic, and theological consideration, but moreover, to reject such a conclusion, based upon the cumulative data is tantamount to an overt confession of scientific malpractice and a glaring Naturalism biases. |
