poorly written collection of installation recipes
These guys have identifed a market need, and done the minimum necessary to capitalize on it. The topic is relevant, but the writing is very poor.Once you've deciphered the mangled grammar, the author for the most part "describes" rather than "explains," in other words telling you "how" to do something rather than "why" or what it "means" - like a collection of man pages.On the plus side, at least these man pages are collected in a neat binding, so there's some value there. I have to think that someone out there has put together a more clearly written OpenStack overview - and it may be time for me to to recycle this investment and hit Google.I can only hope that O'Reilly will put out an equivalent/updated book soon.(Caveat: once you know and understand all about OpenStack and are looking for the installation recipes, this may be just the book for you. I'm not there yet - I needed OpenStack "demystified" first - like it says in the title.)

Good for readers with no prior exposure to OpenStack
Easy to read book. Minimal learning for me as I already went through OpenStack deployment and OpenStack documentation before reading this book. I expected to learn more than what I already learned from free sources of information.I am rating the book 3-start because I believe it could have more depth, even for a reader that starts without any prior knowledge.Overall it can be a good read for someone new to OpenStack, but will not recommend for readers with more prior exposure.

Teaches you how set up OpenStack, and why to do things certain ways
This is an excellent book for a developer who wants to learn the basics of using OpenStack. In a clear, straightforward and useful way it walks you through the process of setting up a personal OpenStack installation that you can experiment and learn with, walking you through the various modules step by step, and giving lots of practical tips and advice along the way.

several missing key pieces of information
If you have little or no background with OpenStack the commands in this book will not guide you toward success past the initial install. This book assumes you know the location of numerous files that need to be edited but does not state where the file location is at.
