How to Check Hardware Details on Linux:

  Whether you're troubleshooting hardware issues, planning an upgrade, or just curious about your system’s specifications, Linux provides a variety of commands to gather comprehensive hardware information. Here are some essential commands: 1.  Use lscpu to get detailed information about the CPU, including architecture, cores, threads, and CPU speeds. # lscpu                                                 2. The lshw command provides a complete overview of hardware configuration, including CPU, memory, storage, and network. You’ll likely need superuser privileges to run it. # sudo lshw                                                                               ...

How Virtual Machines are Created in OpenStack: A Complete Backend Workflow:

When creating a Virtual Machine (VM) in OpenStack, several components work together in the backend to provision the instance. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how the process flows: 1. User Request Interface Used : The user initiates the VM creation through the Horizon Dashboard (web UI), the OpenStack CLI ( openstack server create ), or the OpenStack API. Request Information : The request includes parameters such as: VM name. Image (the operating system or custom image to boot from). Flavor (the compute, memory, and storage specifications). Network (which network the VM will be connected to). Security Groups (firewall rules). Key Pair (for SSH access). 2. API (Nova API) Component : Nova (Compute service). Process : The request is received by the Nova API , which validates the request (checks if the requested resources like the image, flavor, and network exist). If valid, the API creates an entry in the database for the new instance. Nova's Role : Nova is the core service r...
