About This Course

The OpenStack API and CLI Fundamentals course is our self-paced basic course for fundamental OpenStack client knowledge. It will enable you to deeply understand the basic ideas behind OpenStack and the general structure of the platform.

Important notice

We provide all our courses as monthly course runs to ensure that the course content and labs are continually updated, and constantly quality checked. When you purchase a course seat, you will be automatically invited to the current course run, i.e., the June course run, July course run, etc., regardless of when you make your purchase.

Much like a printed book, the course content will remain available in your Cleura Cloud Academy account, but your access to labs expires on the 7:th of the following month, i.e. July 7 for the June course run, August 7 for the July course run, etc.

Please plan your seat purchase to ensure that you have enough time to complete the course and labs before access to the labs expires.
