During the past ten years, cloud computing gradually becomes mature which is a current research hotspot. OpenStack is currently one of the most popular open source cloud platforms that developed by Rack space and NASA. It provides some toolkits to deploy cloud environment and implement cloud infrastructure like Amazon EC2. In this paper, we describe OpenStack architecture in detail and introduce its application in big data processing. This led us to the conclusion that OpenStack is a highly modular and extensible and platform and it is a good alternative if you want to hand large-scale data efficiently.
