I will troubleshoot, deploy, and automate openstack infrastructure
About this Gig
Need help troubleshooting, configuring, or managing an OpenStack environment?
I provide professional OpenStack infrastructure support for cloud environments, including troubleshooting, configuration, deployment assistance, and day-to-day administration.
I can help with:
- OpenStack Nova compute and instance issues
- Neutron networking, ports, subnets, routers and security groups
- Cinder storage and volume troubleshooting
- Keystone authentication and service access
- Glance images
- OpenStack CLI and API troubleshooting
- Compute node and service issues
- VM boot, metadata and cloud-init problems
- OpenStack-Ansible troubleshooting and configuration
- HAProxy, certificates and supporting Linux services
- Log analysis and root-cause investigation
- Infrastructure configuration and automation assistance
I work with Linux-based cloud environments and focus on identifying the root cause rather than applying temporary fixes.
Please contact me before ordering for production-wide issues, migrations, upgrades, multi-node deployments, or complex projects so I can review the scope and provide the correct package/custom offer.

FAQ
What OpenStack services can you work with?
I can assist with Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Keystone, Glance and related OpenStack infrastructure components, including compute, networking, storage, authentication, images, APIs and supporting Linux services.
Can you troubleshoot OpenStack VM or instance boot problems?
Yes. I can investigate Nova scheduling, compute services, Neutron networking, metadata access, cloud-init, security groups, images and other issues that may prevent an instance from booting or operating correctly.
Do you work with OpenStack-Ansible?
Yes. I can assist with OpenStack-Ansible environments, configuration, troubleshooting, service issues and deployment-related problems. This is particularly worth including because it differentiates you from someone who only knows basic Horizon/OpenStack usage.
What information should I provide before you start?
Please provide a description of the issue, OpenStack version if known, affected services, relevant error messages/logs, recent changes, environment details and the expected behaviour. Please remove passwords, private keys and other sensitive credentials from screenshots or logs.
Will you need access to my OpenStack environment?
It depends on the issue. Some problems can be diagnosed using logs, command outputs and configuration files. For more complex troubleshooting, temporary authorised access may be required. We can confirm the safest approach before work begins.
Does the Basic package cover any OpenStack issue?
The Basic package covers one clearly defined OpenStack issue. Problems involving multiple services, multiple nodes, major configuration changes or wider production impact may require the Standard, Premium or a custom offer.
Can you deploy a complete production OpenStack environment?
Large or production OpenStack deployments require proper scope assessment. Please contact me before ordering so we can discuss the architecture, number of nodes, networking, storage, deployment method and other requirements. I can then provide a custom offer where appropriate.
Can you help with OpenStack networking problems?
Yes. I can troubleshoot Neutron networks, subnets, routers, ports, security groups, floating IPs, instance connectivity and related network/service issues.
