Introduction to OpenStack Neutron

[@sharmakoustubh]

This is better than any OpenStack networking course, short and crisp exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

[@DavidMahler]

You're very welcome!

[@Samuelmugo1]

Thanks David, you have summarized an entire book in less than 20 minutes and made it look so simple. Can’t wait to try it out on my home lab.

[@DavidMahler]

Great!

[@simranjitsingh3106]

I was going through the PDF for 4 hours with no output , trust me this 20 min video made the difference , thank you very much :) waiting for more videos !!

[@DavidMahler]

Awesome! I learn similarly where I need to see more examples and diagrams so that's why I end up making the videos in that way.

[@LightningMcQueen26]

Precise, to the point, lots of concept covered in 20 mins. Thanks David

[@DavidMahler]

You're welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@arshidrashid598]

have never seen anyone explain it that easily. excellent job David

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks!

[@adithyan_arathi]

1 full day class has been successfully squeezed in to few mins. Amazing and very useful!

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks!

[@srikrishnarr6553]

Just like reading a book with a speed of our choice ..So much info you have packed and explained neatly with practicals.I love it .Valuable 20 mins for me in openstack

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks for commenting!

[@nikeeoh]

Great job explaining! Very clear and concise. I am a traditional network engineer and your explanation helped me grasp these concepts.

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks! That's great, I'm glad it helped you grasp them!

[@peterdee2285]

Cracking video. Being an old school sysadmin I like how you explain the terminology between the old physical world and the new cloud world. The core concepts are still the same, just the language has changed a bit. Thanks again!

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks Peter! Totally, no one got rid of TCP/IP yet so the same old physical world ideas usually apply but to virtual objects (maybe minus OpenFlow rules - but that's just a different way to tell packets where to go).

[@8919brand]

I am a beginner in OPENSTACK... Out of all the youtube videos on neutron, this is the only one which I found easy to understand

[@DavidMahler]

Cool, thanks a lot for letting me know!

[@mhpetiwala]

Excellent. Explains concepts and terminology in a very simple manner for folks getting started with openstack.

[@DavidMahler]

+Mohammed Petiwala Thanks, I was hoping it would be pretty straightforward

[@MrAnandbajaj]

Sooperb.. your 20 minutes video cleared our understanding and solved our many hours of debugging. Great Job !!

[@DavidMahler]

Great, I'm glad it helped!

[@linkmeup-podcast]

I am also network engineer. But I am newcomer for Openstack. Trying to get on well with Neutron I found your channel and started to watch videos one by one. That's amzing! And I am also kind of teacher, so I know what a huge work you've done to complete this video! Cool!

[@DavidMahler]

Yes, they are a lot of work! Thanks so much for the kind words and taking the time to comment!

[@chalzsn2828]

FANTASTIC, clear & concise video! Been struggling to understand Openstack but now it's so much more clearer to me.... keep up the great work & thanks a ton!

[@DavidMahler]

Great, you're very welcome, I'm happy it helped you so much!

[@PedroGarcia-jy5em]

Dang. Now, this is what you call an easy-to-understand intro. Good job!

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks, Pedro!!

Fantastic video, Thanks for taking the time to create this content.

[@DavidMahler]

TY!

[@sly_perkins]

Very helpful. Excellent graphics and illustrations. Good fast pace; makes the viewer pay attention and even rewind once in a while! Good job cutting out all the pauses and delays (i.e., nice editing). You make it look easy.

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks, Gordon! Yes, there are a lot of layers to deal with and edit on these (audio, video, diagrams, actual content) - thanks for noticing!

[@taujago]

as a beginner in openstack, this video really helps. thank you very much

[@DavidMahler]

You're very welcome!

[@theconfusedchannel6365]

Very crisp explanation. No fluff. thanks so much.

[@KamleshKumar-sn3yp]

Great.. !!! Very nice video. I really like the way you explained the neutron concepts. Thank You...

[@DavidMahler]

+Kamlesh Kumar You're welcome!!

[@HauntedNursery]

Thank you so much for sharing this presentation. Neutron (& networking in general) is scary in how complex it is, but it's so cool! Seeing it broken down visually really helps put the pieces together. Thank you!

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks so much for commenting! You're welcome! Did you see the DVR packet walkthrough video yet, the complexity does get pretty intense!

[@jimingtianji]

This is a wonderful learning material, very basic and very clear. Could you please make more about Nova, storage, etc., and including the physical connections? Thanks a lot.

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks! I'm a network engineer so don't focus on compute and storage much, at least not enough to make an intelligent video on the topics :-).

[@Calphool222]

This is quite good. Exactly what you need to hear when getting started, with no fluff.

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks JR! I aim for no fluff!

[@balakrishnabk3130]

Really easy to understand and like the summary that re-iterates. Good One.

[@DavidMahler]

+Balakrishna BK Thanks for commenting!

[@pavangupta6112]

[@madanmohan4069]

very crisp and effective demonstration of OpenStack Neutron

[@DavidMahler]

Thank you!

[@archstampton5910]

I wish I found that video a couple of days ago. I spent the past days reading official documentation, online courses (which basically were only literately reciting official documentation) , I could not understand the difference between a provider network and a project network. Thank you so much. Liked and Subscribed.

[@DavidMahler]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback and information about your experiences trying to learn this stuff!

[@alextracod5650]

100% worth seeing it. Well done!

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks Alex!!

[@jordanbauduin7911]

really great intro to openStack , well done David !

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks Jordan!!

[@harshavardhanhari]

Waiting for next one! Great one as usual. Thanks for ur time.

[@DavidMahler]

+Harsha Vardhan You're welcome, thanks for the comment!

[@souheilbentekaya1204]

Thank you for the video. I really connects the dots. As far as I know, Openstack is mainly used to build virtual data centers. I suggest that you create a sample of a virtual data center using as much feature as possible. Surely, it will be an amazing tutorial. Thanks a lot for your effort !

[@DavidMahler]

You're welcome, thanks for the feedback!

[@ImranHaider]

Awesome video. Very easy to understand. Thanks David

[@DavidMahler]

You're welcome. Thanks for posting!

Thanks Human :-)

[@H0gwartsgryffind0r]

thanks for publishing this video and explaining concepts so easily

[@DavidMahler]

You're welcome!

[@devlavaniya]

Thanks a lot for this video David . Simple yet quite informational. Looking forward to the next in the series. One suggestion I will give is to divide them in series for better management and playlist creation. Cheers !

[@DavidMahler]

+Dev Lavaniya (r0x0r) Thanks for the comments! Can you elaborate on what you mean by divide them in series? Do you just mean have a 'theme' all in a playlist(s) ?

[@devlavaniya]

+David Mahler Yes, exactly ! I just meant it would be much more intuitive to create playlist like ‘Openstack Neutron’ for this one and the next video related that follows be added to this playlist. Just my two cents. :)

[@nebupm]

Well presented and nicely covered. Very useful.

[@DavidMahler]

+Nebu Mathews Thanks!!

[@maroskukan8387]

David you have excellent style for presenting complex topics to broader audience. This was very informative and enjoyable experience. I am looking forward how you break down neutron in more detail like you did with namespaces before. Well done and keep the momentum going.

[@DavidMahler]

Thanks Maros! Did you catch my packet walkthrough video for OpenStack Neutron - DVR? That is like the namespaces video. It's quite dense though! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXq7dqeLer-mosk
