The article is devoted to the topical issue of finding effective methods of implementing a private cloud based on the OpenStack cloud platform. The problem of creating a private cloud based on the OpenStack cloud platform with the help of automatic deployment tools to explore the possibility of virtualization of data centers. The article believes that OpenStack is a set of free software modules that can be used to create cloud infrastructure services and cloud storage. It is shown that OpenStack has advantages: flexibility, scalability, cost-effectiveness, which allows for virtualization of data centers based on open source software. Hence, OpenStack is ideal for heterogeneous infrastructures and can work in conjunction with other enterprise and open source technologies. It is shown that OpenStack allows you to solve the most complex IT tasks to date: from processing «Big Data» to «Internet of Things» (IoT, Internet of Things), due to the fact that OpenStack APIs are compatible with Elastic Compute services Cloud (EC2) and Simple Storage Service (S3), so they can be ported to discrete OpenStack environments. Therefore, many businesses and service providers expect OpenStack to help them turn their data centers into scalable automated matrices of physical resources and virtualized services. avoid binding to the supplier, prisk innovate, increase scalability and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, these disparate data centers, controlled by automation and API programming interfaces, can support the application of the DevOps model in providing software for innovative mobility programs, social networks, and many other types of applications based on NFV (Network Function Virtualization). The article presents the following task: to build a private cloud based on the OpenStack cloud platform, it is necessary to determine a set of free software that can be used to create cloud infrastructure services and cloud storage, both public and private. You also need to identify effective methods for deploying a private cloud based on OpenStack using automatic deployment tools, namely: installing and configuring a private cloud based on Openstack on a dedicated server. To solve this problem, you need to create a prototype of an open platform in the cloud based on OpenStack (test models).
