The document discusses the perspective of a sysadmin in managing OpenStack, highlighting the importance of understanding the infrastructure's components and configurations. It emphasizes the role of the OpenStack dashboard as a tool for cloud administrators to manage resources, create users, and provide a self-service portal for users. Additionally, it raises concerns about troubleshooting when the dashboard fails, reminding sysadmins to know the configuration files of essential services.

● You know you have a OpenStack Dashboard?
● What are the capabilities?
● The dashboard is an extensible web app that
allows cloud administrators and users to control
their compute, storage and networking
resources.

9. OpenStack
● As a cloud administrator, the dashboard
provides an overall view of the size and state of
your cloud. You can create users and projects,
assign users to projects and set limits on the
resources for those projects.
● The dashboard provides users a self-service
portal to provision their own resources within
the limits set by administrators.

10. OpenStack
● But what happens if the dashboard doesn't
work?
● Like Sysadmin always you must know what files
store the configuration of services running in
your system.
