OpenStack training - Learn OpenStack Deployment and Operations

Course Description

Our OpenStack course – OpenStack Deployment and Operations, is our self-paced introductory course for fundamental OpenStack knowledge. It is the base for all our other OpenStack training modules that we offer and will enable you to deeply understand the basic ideas behind OpenStack and the general structure of the platform.

Course objectives

This OpenStack course has a total of 44 units, out of which 18 are interactive lab exercises. Lab exercises vary from about 30 to 90 minutes in length. Overall, it is possible to complete the entire course in a matter of 2-3 days in one go, but we recommend spreading out your lessons: for best results, plan to do about 2-3 units, including one lab, every day or every other day. If you follow that recommendation, you will complete the course in about 2-4 weeks — but if a different schedule suits you better, go with what works best for you!

In this course, you will build your own OpenStack cluster, and learn how to operate it according to current industry best practices.

At the end of the course you will

• Have a deep understanding of the fundamental ideas of cloud computing;
• Know how OpenStack’s various components work and interact together;
• Understand OpenStack’s project structure and history;
• Know how to operate, manage, and run a basic OpenStack Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform.

You will initially deploy an OpenStack cluster using the OpenStack Antelope release, and then do a complete rolling upgrade to OpenStack Caracal.

OpenStack training – dates and next sessions

We provide all our courses as monthly course runs to ensure quality control. A course seat purchase automatically invites you to the current course run regardless of when you make the purchase. The course content will remain available in your account, but access to labs expires on the 7th of the following month. Please plan your seat purchase to ensure that you have enough time to complete the course and labs before access to the labs expires.
