OpenStack Training in Gaia

This course is designed to familiarize participants with the OpenStack environment from both operational and administrative perspectives. Following a brief introduction to cloud computing, learners will set up their own OpenStack instance to perform practical operational and administrative tasks. The curriculum covers all fundamental OpenStack components, ranging from general architecture to cloud administration. Approximately 75% of the course consists of hands-on workshops conducted within a real OpenStack environment.

This course offers comprehensive training on OpenStack. It begins with an introduction to the system, progresses through hands-on workshops that provide practical knowledge for managing private clouds based on OpenStack, and concludes with troubleshooting and advanced architectural topics. The primary goal is to familiarise participants with the OpenStack ecosystem while establishing a strong foundation for future expansion and refinement of OpenStack clouds. The curriculum covers all necessary topics to achieve the OpenStack Administrator certification. Notably, 75% of the course is dedicated to hands-on workshops within 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 an in-depth training on OpenStack networking. It begins with an introduction to OpenStack and its architecture, followed by a clarification of the core OpenStack projects: Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), and Block storage (Cinder). This foundation serves to describe the network environment within OpenStack, with a primary focus on the Networking project (Neutron). The course details the virtual network infrastructure, leveraging the Open Virtual Network project, Open vSwitch, and OpenFlow. The objective is to help participants understand the fundamental operations and architecture of OpenStack while becoming familiar with the various networking technologies underlying OpenStack, including expanded information on OVN, its flows, resources, and tools.

Customization options

The training can be condensed into a 2-day format, focusing on core aspects most relevant to the customer. Alternatively, the training can be extended to cover administrative, design, networking, and/or troubleshooting topics related to OpenStack deployments. Other underlying SDN solutions, such as Linux Bridge or OvS, can also be discussed.

This instructor-led, live training in Gaia (online or onsite) is aimed at DevOps engineers and developers who wish to deploy and manage OpenStack services on cloud infrastructures using Kubernetes.

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

• Deploy, configure, and manage MOS and its components.
• Access OpenStack APIs.
• Perform common OpenStack operations tasks (backup, restore, etc.).
• Upgrade OpenStack deployments.
