Customization options

The full course is designed for a minimum of 5 days. It can be shortened if certain topics are not relevant to the customer. For participants who are beginners to OpenStack (requiring a slower pace), it is recommended to extend the course to 6 days or remove some advanced topics. The course can also be extended by one additional day to cover OVN topics.

This course offers an in-depth training on OpenStack networking. It begins by introducing OpenStack and its architecture, then clarifies core OpenStack projects—Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), and Block storage (Cinder)—to describe the surrounding ecosystem of networks within OpenStack. The main focus is placed on the Networking project (Neutron). The course describes virtual network infrastructure based on the Open Virtual Network project, Open vSwitch, and OpenFlow. The goal is to help participants understand the basic operations and architecture of OpenStack, while familiarizing them with the various networking technologies behind OpenStack, extending information about OVN, underlying flows, resources, and tools.

Customization options

The training can be contracted for 2 days, focusing on core aspects relevant to the customer. The training can also be extended regarding administrative, design, networking, and/or troubleshooting topics concerning OpenStack deployments. It is possible to describe other underlying SDN solutions like Linux Bridge or OvS.

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the OpenStack environment from both operational and administrative perspectives. Following a brief introduction to cloud computing principles, participants will be assigned their own OpenStack instance to perform practical operational and administrative tasks. The curriculum covers all fundamental components of OpenStack, ranging from general architecture to full-scale cloud administration. Approximately 90% of the course consists of hands-on workshops conducted in a real-world OpenStack environment.

The course aligns with all topics included in the Certified OpenStack Administrator exam, preparing participants both theoretically and practically. Additionally, the course content has been expanded to include insights into common OpenStack pitfalls, helping participants better understand the nuances required to succeed in the exam. At the conclusion of the course, every participant will have the opportunity to assess their knowledge through a mock COA exam.
