Additionally, the program has been expanded to include topics that help participants better understand the nuances required to pass the exam. At the end of the course, every participant will have the opportunity to test their knowledge during a mock COA exam.

This instructor-led, live training in Romania (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers, architects and managers who wish to deploy an OpenStack cloud to manage their Telecom infrastructure.

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

• Plan, deploy, and administer OpenStack as a private cloud.
• Understand IaaS architecture and its implementation under OpenStack.
• Replace physical routers and servers with virtual machines running in a private cloud.
• Reduce infrastructure and maintenance costs through virtualization and cloud computing.
• Expedite the rollout of new services to customers.

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

This course has a dual objective: to establish a robust understanding of OpenStack architecture and to develop advanced troubleshooting capabilities. In the architecture module, participants will learn how to design hardware for both public and private clouds, configure a high-availability control plane, select appropriate flavor sizes, and safely implement resource overcommitment. A critical component is gaining insight into the internals of Neutron, OpenStack's Networking Service. The troubleshooting section introduces methods for resolving issues within OpenStack clusters, progressing from general advice and network diagnostics to specific challenges associated with core OpenStack services. Approximately 75% of the course consists of hands-on workshops conducted in a real-world OpenStack training environment.

This course offers comprehensive training on OpenStack. It begins with an introduction to the system, followed by hands-on workshops that provide practical knowledge for managing private clouds built on OpenStack. Finally, the curriculum covers troubleshooting and advanced architectural topics. The primary goal is to familiarize participants with the OpenStack ecosystem while establishing a strong foundation for further expanding and refining OpenStack clouds. The course includes all necessary topics to prepare for the OpenStack Administrator certification exam. Approximately 75% of the course consists of hands-on workshops conducted in a real OpenStack training environment.

This program offers comprehensive training on OpenStack. The extended version of the OpenStack Bootcamp course includes additional exercises, troubleshooting scenarios, and sample examination tasks. Enhanced content is highlighted in bold within the course outline. 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 topics on troubleshooting and advanced architectural concepts. The objective of this course is to familiarize participants with the OpenStack ecosystem and provide a strong foundation for further expansion and refinement of OpenStack clouds. The curriculum covers all topics necessary to achieve the OpenStack Administrator certification. Seventy-five percent of the course consists of hands-on workshops conducted in a real OpenStack training environment. Upon completion, participants receive all course materials and access to the training environment for self-study and feature/troubleshooting exercises.

Customization options

The full course is designed to last at least 5 days. It can be shortened if certain topics are not relevant to the customer. If participants are beginners to OpenStack (requiring a slower pace), it is recommended to extend the course to 6 days or remove some advanced topics. Additionally, the course can be extended by one day to include OVN topics.

This course provides in-depth training on OpenStack networking. It begins with an overview of OpenStack and its architecture, then details core OpenStack projects—including the Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), and Block storage (Cinder)—to contextualize the networking environment within OpenStack. The primary focus is on the Networking project (Neutron). The curriculum covers virtual network infrastructure, leveraging the Open Virtual Network project, Open vSwitch, and OpenFlow. By the end of the course, participants will understand the fundamental architecture and operations of OpenStack and gain familiarity with the diverse networking technologies underpinning it, including detailed insights into OVN, its underlying flows, resources, and tools.

Customization options

The training can be condensed into a 2-day format, concentrating on core aspects most relevant to the customer’s needs. Alternatively, the scope can be expanded to cover administrative, design, networking, and troubleshooting topics related to OpenStack deployments. Other underlying SDN solutions, such as Linux Bridge or OvS, can also be included.

This course is designed for IT engineers and architects who are seeking a solution to host private or public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) clouds using OpenStack.
It also offers IT managers a valuable opportunity to gain a comprehensive overview of the capabilities that OpenStack can provide.

Before you decide to implement OpenStack independently, conduct further research on the subject, or hire a third-party provider for implementation, you can evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages by attending our course.
This topic is also available as individual consultancy.

Course Objective:

Understand the differences between Public Cloud and Private Cloud in terms of offering and management.

Acquire foundational knowledge about OpenStack.

This course delivers practical expertise in OpenStack and private cloud security. It begins with an introduction to the system, after which participants gain hands-on knowledge regarding security within private clouds and the process of securing an OpenStack installation. Throughout the training, each core OpenStack module is explored in detail. Participants build virtual resources for identity, images, networking, compute, and storage, while simultaneously addressing pertinent security issues. Every participant receives a dedicated training environment featuring a complete OpenStack installation tailored to a selected cloud architecture (e.g., storage, networking). The training is highly customizable to meet specific client requirements.
