This document discusses building an effective IoT system on OpenStack. It describes key IoT use cases and requirements, such as high data volume, velocity, and variety. The proposed architecture uses OpenStack services like Nova, Neutron, Swift, and Ceilometer to provide scalable infrastructure, networking, storage, and monitoring for IoT workloads. The document outlines how OpenStack can support broker integration, device management, flexible data stores, external connectivity, and data federation to realize a full-featured IoT platform. Future work involves proof-of-concept testing of the integrated architecture.
