Customization options

The full course is designed for at least 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 include OVN topics.

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 course aims to familiarize participants with the OpenStack environment from both the operational and administrative perspectives. Following a concise introduction to cloud computing, you will be provided with your own OpenStack instance to perform practical operational and administrative tasks. The curriculum covers all fundamental components of OpenStack, ranging from general architecture to full cloud administration. The course format consists of approximately 90% hands-on workshops conducted within a real OpenStack environment.

The syllabus encompasses all topics required for the Certified OpenStack Administrator examination, preparing participants both theoretically and practically. Furthermore, the course program has been expanded to include additional topics that help participants better understand the nuances of OpenStack necessary to pass the exam. At the conclusion of the course, every participant will have the opportunity to test their knowledge during a mock COA examination.
