 Software code name is Nova, and it provides the software that can
control an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing
platform.
 OpenStack Compute gives you service to build cloud, including
running/managing instances, managing networks, and controlling
access to the cloud through users and projects.
 It is similar in scope to Amazon EC2 and Rackspace Cloud Servers.
 OpenStack Compute does not include any virtualization software;
rather it defines drivers that interact with underlying virtualization
mechanisms that run on your host operating system, and exposes
functionality over a web-based API.
 Nova is accessible via APIs for developers to build their cloud
applications and via web interfaces/CLI for administrators and users.
 Nova originated as a project out of NASAAmes Research Laboratory.

Process Name Description
1. nova-api
It supports OpenStack Compute API, Amazon's EC2 API and powerful Admin API.
It gets communicated over HTTP, converts the requests to commands further
contacting other components via message queue. It's a WSGI application which
routes and authenticates requests.
2. nova-compute
A worker daemon which takes orders from its message queue and perform virtual
machine create/delete tasks using Hypervisor's API. It also updates status of its tasks
in Database.
3. nova-scheduler
This daemon decides which Nova Compute Host to allot for virtual machine
request.
4. nova-network
A worker daemon which takes network related tasks from its message queue and
performing those. OpenStack's neutron component can be opted instead of nova-
network.
5. nova-conductor
server daemon that serves the Nova Conductor service, which provides coordination
and database query support for Nova.
6. nova-console is a console Proxy to set up multi-tenant VM console access (i.e. with xvp)
7. nova-cert
server daemon that serves the Nova Cert service for X509 certificates. Used to
generate certificates for euca-bundle-image. Only needed for EC2 API
8. nova-consoleauth Provides Authentication for nova consoles

Process Name Description
9. nova-novncproxy Websocket proxy that is compatible with OpenStack Nova noVNC consoles.
10. nova-serialproxy Websocket proxy that is compatible with OpenStack Nova serial ports.
11. nova-spicehtml5proxy Websocket proxy that is compatible with OpenStack Nova SPICE HTML5 consoles.
12. nova-rootwrap Filters which commands nova is allowed to run as another user.
13. nova-objectstore
Implementation of an S3-like storage server based on local files. Used for testing
when do not have OpenStack Swift installed.
14. nova-xvpvncproxy XVP VNC Console Proxy Server
15.
Message queue
All components of Nova communicate with each other in a non-blocking callback-
oriented manner using AMQP protocol well supported by RabbitMQ, Apache QPid.
There is also emerging support for ZeroMQ integration as Message Queue. It's like
central task list shared and updated by all Nova components.
