This course offers comprehensive training on OpenStack, beginning with an introduction to the system and progressing through hands-on workshops that provide practical knowledge for managing private clouds based on OpenStack. It concludes with troubleshooting techniques and advanced architectural topics. The primary objective is to familiarize participants with the OpenStack ecosystem while establishing a strong foundation for further expanding and refining their OpenStack cloud environments. This course covers all necessary topics to help attendees achieve the OpenStack Administrator certification, with 75% of the curriculum dedicated to hands-on workshops in a real OpenStack training environment.

This intensive OpenStack training provides practical, hands-on experience in deploying, managing, troubleshooting, and optimizing private cloud environments based on OpenStack. Designed as an extended bootcamp, the course covers core administration topics, real-world troubleshooting scenarios, and advanced architectural concepts aligned with the Certified OpenStack Administrator exam objectives. With 75% workshop-based learning in a live OpenStack lab, participants build the skills needed to confidently administer and further develop enterprise OpenStack infrastructures.

This course provides in-depth training on OpenStack networking. It begins by introducing OpenStack and its overall architecture, then outlines the core OpenStack projects—Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), and Block storage (Cinder)—to contextualize the network environment within OpenStack. The primary focus is placed on the Networking project (Neutron). The curriculum covers virtual network infrastructure, leveraging the Open Virtual Network project, specifically Open vSwitch and OpenFlow. By the end of the course, participants will understand the fundamental architecture and operations of OpenStack and gain familiarity with the diverse networking technologies that underpin it, including detailed insights into OVN, its underlying flows, resources, and associated tools.

Customization options

The training can be condensed to a two-day format, concentrating on the core aspects most relevant to the customer’s needs. Alternatively, the course can be extended to cover administrative tasks, design principles, networking strategies, or troubleshooting techniques related to OpenStack deployments. It is also possible to include instruction on other underlying SDN solutions, such as Linux Bridge or OvS.

This instructor-led, live training in (online or onsite) is aimed at system administrators and infrastructure engineers who wish to design, deploy, and manage private OpenStack cloud infrastructure for enterprise environments.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to understand OpenStack architecture, deploy private cloud infrastructure, manage compute and storage resources, implement security with Keystone, and apply enterprise best practices.
