The CMDB CI Class Models store app adds or updates classes for OpenStack.

The app adds class models that extend the CMDB class hierarchy, including class descriptions, identification rules, identifier entries, and dependent relationships if applicable. You can use the added classes as any other CMDB class. Applications such as Discovery and Service Mapping patterns can use these class extensions to populate CIs and discover various technologies and software.

OpenStack

OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter. All of these resources are managed and provisioned through APIs with common authentication mechanisms. Other components provide services such as orchestration, fault management, and service management to ensure high availability of user applications. OpenStack is broken up into services to enable you to plug and play components depending on your needs. These components are designed for horizontal scalability, so you can easily add new resources to grow your cloud over time.
