OpenStack Administration Training Course

This instructor-led live training, offered online or onsite, is designed for DevOps engineers and developers who aim 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.

This course serves as comprehensive training for OpenStack. It commences with an introduction to the system, followed by hands-on workshops that impart practical knowledge for managing private clouds based on OpenStack. It also addresses troubleshooting and advanced architectural topics. The objective of this course is to familiarize learners with the OpenStack ecosystem while establishing a robust foundation for further expansion and refinement of OpenStack clouds. The curriculum encompasses all topics required to successfully complete the OpenStack Administrator Certificate exam.

This course offers comprehensive training on OpenStack. It begins with an introduction to the system, proceeds through hands-on workshops that provide practical knowledge for managing private clouds based on OpenStack, and concludes with troubleshooting and advanced architectural topics. The goal of this course is to familiarize participants with the OpenStack ecosystem while providing a strong foundation for further expansion and refinement of OpenStack clouds. The curriculum covers all topics necessary to qualify for the OpenStack Administrator certification exam. Approximately 75% of the course consists of hands-on workshops conducted 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, followed by a detailed explanation of core OpenStack projects—Identity Service (Keystone), Image Service (Glance), Compute Service (Nova), and Block Storage (Cinder)—to outline the context in which OpenStack networks operate, with a primary focus on the Networking project (Neutron). The curriculum covers virtual network infrastructure, highlighting the Open Virtual Network (OVN) project, Open vSwitch, and OpenFlow. The objective is to help participants grasp the fundamental operations and architecture of OpenStack while becoming familiar with the diverse networking technologies underpinning OpenStack, including deeper insights into OVN, underlying flows, resources, and tools.

Customization options

The training duration can be adjusted to two days, concentrating on the core aspects most relevant to the customer’s needs. Additionally, the course can be expanded to include topics related to administration, design, networking, and troubleshooting specific to OpenStack deployments. It is also possible to cover other underlying SDN solutions such as Linux Bridge or Open vSwitch (OvS).

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 infrastructure within enterprise environments.

Upon completion 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.
