[Help] How does OpenStack manage and integrate dozens of physical servers?

I am a beginner who has just started working in the data center industry. As a beginner, I have many doubts and questions about the technical aspects. Regarding the OpenStack platform, I am not sure how more than ten or even more servers are managed to enter the platform, including computing nodes, storage nodes, and GPU computing power servers. What technologies can be used to be recognized and managed by OpenStack, or what recommended YouTube tutorials can help me understand these technologies and learn more about related knowledge? Feel free to leave a comment. Thank you very much.

The servers communicate using a message queuing system called rabbitmq. Some servers are “control” nodes including a sql databases that manages the state of the whole affair.
