OpenStack Administration Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Bulgaria (online or onsite) is designed for DevOps engineers and developers who want 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 operational tasks (backup, restore, etc.).
• Upgrade OpenStack deployments.

This course serves as comprehensive training for OpenStack. It starts with an introduction to the system, proceeds through hands-on workshops to provide practical knowledge for managing private clouds based on OpenStack, and concludes with topics on troubleshooting and advanced architectural concepts. The primary goal is to familiarize learners with the OpenStack ecosystem and establish a strong foundation for further expansion and refinement of OpenStack clouds. The course covers all essential topics required to successfully complete the Certificate OpenStack Administrator exam.

This course offers comprehensive training on OpenStack, beginning with an introduction to the system. It then moves through practical workshops to provide hands-on 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 prepare for the OpenStack Administrator certification exam. 75% of the course consists of hands-on workshops 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 delivers comprehensive training on OpenStack networking. It begins with an overview of OpenStack and its architecture, followed by a detailed explanation of key OpenStack projects—Identity (Keystone), Image (Glance), Compute (Nova), and Block Storage (Cinder)—to contextualize the networking environment within OpenStack, with a primary focus on the Networking project (Neutron). The curriculum covers virtual network infrastructure, leveraging the Open Virtual Network project, Open vSwitch, and OpenFlow. The main objective is to help participants grasp the fundamental architecture and operations of OpenStack while becoming familiar with the various networking technologies that power it, including in-depth information on OVN, underlying flows, resources, and associated tools.

Customization options

The training can be condensed into a 2-day session, concentrating on core aspects relevant to the customer. It can also be expanded to cover administrative, design, networking, and/or troubleshooting topics related to OpenStack deployments. Additionally, other underlying SDN solutions such as Linux Bridge or OvS can be discussed.

This course delivers hands-on expertise in OpenStack and private cloud security. It begins with a system introduction, followed by practical guidance on securing private clouds and hardening OpenStack installations. Throughout the training, core OpenStack modules are explored in depth. Participants will construct virtual identity, image, network, compute, and storage resources while addressing relevant security considerations. Each attendee receives a dedicated training environment featuring a complete OpenStack deployment tailored to a specific cloud architecture (e.g., storage or networking configurations). The curriculum is fully customizable to align with client requirements.

Customization options
Participants can choose a condensed two-day format that focuses on essential aspects relevant to their specific needs. Alternatively, the training can be expanded to cover administrative tasks, design principles, networking, and/or troubleshooting scenarios related to OpenStack deployments.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is targeted at system administrators and infrastructure engineers who wish to design, deploy, and manage private OpenStack cloud infrastructure for enterprise environments.

By the end 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.
