This course is designed to familiarize participants with the OpenStack environment from both operator and administrator perspectives. Following a concise introduction to cloud computing, you will receive your own OpenStack instance to perform hands-on operational and administrative tasks. The curriculum covers all fundamental components of OpenStack, ranging from general architecture to cloud administration. With approximately 90% of the course dedicated to hands-on workshops in a real OpenStack environment, the program ensures practical proficiency.

The course addresses all topics required for the Certified OpenStack Administrator exam, preparing participants both theoretically and practically. Additionally, the program has been expanded to cover topics that help participants better understand the nuances of OpenStack necessary for exam success. At the conclusion of the course, every participant will have the opportunity to assess their readiness through a mock COA exam.

This instructor-led live training in South Korea (online or onsite) is designed for engineers, architects, and managers who wish to deploy an OpenStack cloud to manage their Telecom infrastructure.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Plan, deploy, and administer OpenStack as a private cloud.
• Understand IaaS architecture and its implementation under OpenStack.
• Replace physical routers and servers with virtual machines running in a private cloud.
• Reduce infrastructure and maintenance costs through virtualization and cloud computing.
• Expedite the rollout of new services to customers.

This course serves as comprehensive OpenStack training. It starts with an introduction to the
system, then uses hands-on workshops to impart practical knowledge for managing private
clouds based on OpenStack. Finally, it covers troubleshooting and advanced, architectural topics. The
objective is to familiarize learners with the OpenStack ecosystem while establishing a solid
foundation for expanding and refining OpenStack clouds.
The course includes all necessary topics to prepare for the OpenStack
Administrator Certification exam.

This course is designed with two primary objectives: to provide a comprehensive understanding of OpenStack's architecture and to develop advanced troubleshooting capabilities. On the architectural side, participants will learn to design hardware configurations for both public and private clouds, establish a high-availability control plane, determine appropriate flavor sizes, and implement safe resource overcommitment strategies. A crucial component of this module is gaining insight into the internal workings of Neutron, the Networking Service. The troubleshooting segment introduces various techniques for addressing issues within OpenStack clusters, ranging from general best practices and network-specific diagnostics to navigating the complexities of core OpenStack services. Approximately 75% of the curriculum consists of hands-on workshops conducted in a realistic OpenStack training environment.

This course offers comprehensive training in OpenStack. It begins with an introduction to the system, followed by practical workshops that provide hands-on experience in managing OpenStack-based private clouds. The curriculum concludes with troubleshooting techniques and advanced architectural topics. The primary objective is to familiarize participants with the OpenStack ecosystem and establish a robust foundation for further development and optimization of OpenStack cloud environments. This course covers all necessary topics to prepare for the OpenStack Administrator certification exam, with 75% of the content 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 with an introduction to OpenStack and its architecture, then clarifies core OpenStack projects such as the Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), and Block storage (Cinder) to describe the networking environment in OpenStack, with a primary focus on the Networking project (Neutron). The virtual network infrastructure is described based on the Open Virtual Network project, utilizing Open vSwitch and OpenFlow. The goal of the course is to help participants understand the basic operations and architecture of OpenStack, as well as to familiarize them with various networking technologies behind OpenStack, extending information about OVN and the underlying flows, resources, and tools.

Customization options

The training can be contracted for 2 days, focusing on core aspects relevant for 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 tailored for IT engineers and architects seeking a robust solution to host private or public IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) clouds using OpenStack.
It also serves as an excellent opportunity for IT managers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and potential that OpenStack can unlock.

Before committing to self-implementing OpenStack, conducting further research, or hiring a third-party vendor for deployment, you can weigh the pros and cons by participating in this course.
Additionally, this topic is available as individual consultancy.

Course Objective:

Understand the differences between Public Cloud and Private Cloud in terms of offerings and management

Acquire foundational knowledge of OpenStack

This course delivers practical expertise in OpenStack and private cloud security. It begins with a system introduction, followed by hands-on training on securing private cloud environments and hardening OpenStack installations. Throughout the session, each core OpenStack module is explored as participants build virtual identity, image, network, compute, and storage resources while addressing relevant security concerns. Every participant receives a dedicated training environment featuring a complete OpenStack installation tailored to a selected cloud architecture (e.g., storage, networking). The training content can be highly customized to meet specific client requirements.

Customization options
The training duration can be condensed to two days, focusing on the core aspects most relevant to the customer. Alternatively, the course can be extended to cover administrative, design, networking, and/or troubleshooting topics related to OpenStack deployments.

This instructor-led live training (available online or onsite) is designed for system administrators and infrastructure engineers aiming to design, deploy, and manage private OpenStack cloud environments for enterprise settings.

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.
