This document discusses OpenStack cloud computing at CERN. It notes that CERN has 4 OpenStack clouds with over 120,000 cores total, and is migrating to the Kilo release of OpenStack. It then describes OpenStack components like Keystone for authentication, Glance for images, Nova for compute, and Cinder for block storage. The document outlines how OpenStack supports federated identity through options like Active Directory, OpenID Connect, and SAML. It provides examples of how federation could allow access to external clouds and shares experiences in deploying federated OpenStack.
