OpenStack Administration Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Malaysia (online or onsite) is aimed at DevOps engineers and developers who wish 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 is designed to familiarize participants with the OpenStack environment from both operational and administrative perspectives. Following a concise introduction to cloud computing, learners will be provided with their own OpenStack instance to carry out practical operational and administrative tasks. The curriculum addresses all fundamental components of OpenStack, ranging from high-level architecture to detailed cloud administration. The course structure emphasizes approximately 90% hands-on workshop experience within a real OpenStack environment.

The program covers all topics included in the Certified OpenStack Administrator exam, preparing participants both theoretically and practically for the assessment. Furthermore, the course syllabus has been expanded to include subjects that help participants better understand the nuances of OpenStack required to pass the exam. Upon completion, every participant will have the opportunity to evaluate their knowledge through a mock COA exam.

This instructor-led, live training in Malaysia (online or onsite) is designed for engineers, architects, and managers who wish to deploy an OpenStack cloud to manage their telecommunications infrastructure.

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

• Plan, deploy, and administer OpenStack as a private cloud.
• Comprehend IaaS architecture and its implementation within the OpenStack ecosystem.
• Substitute physical routers and servers with virtual machines hosted in a private cloud.
• Lower infrastructure and maintenance costs by leveraging virtualization and cloud computing.
• Accelerate the deployment of new services for customers.

This course provides comprehensive training on OpenStack. It starts with an introduction to the system, followed by practical workshops that impart knowledge on managing OpenStack-based private clouds. The program concludes with troubleshooting techniques and advanced architectural topics. The primary goal is to familiarize participants with the OpenStack ecosystem while providing a robust foundation for further expansion and refinement of OpenStack clouds. The syllabus covers all necessary topics to prepare for the OpenStack Administrator certificate exam.

This course serves a dual purpose: to build a robust understanding of OpenStack architecture and to develop advanced troubleshooting capabilities. In the architecture segment, participants will learn to design hardware infrastructure for both public and private clouds, establish a high-availability control plane, select appropriate flavour sizes, and safely manage cloud resource overcommitment. A crucial component involves gaining deep insight into the internals of Neutron (the Networking Service). The latter part of the course introduces participants to troubleshooting methodologies for OpenStack clusters, covering general best practices, network diagnostics, and specific pitfalls associated with core OpenStack services. Approximately 75% of the curriculum consists of hands-on workshops conducted within a live OpenStack training environment.

This course provides a comprehensive training programme on OpenStack. It begins with an introduction to the system, followed by hands-on workshops that deliver practical knowledge on managing private clouds based on OpenStack, and concludes with troubleshooting and advanced architectural topics. The objective of this course is to familiarise 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 Certificate exam. Approximately 75% of the course content is delivered through hands-on workshops in a real OpenStack training environment.

This course offers comprehensive training on OpenStack. The extended version of the OpenStack Bootcamp includes additional exercises, troubleshooting scenarios, and sample examination tasks. Extended content is highlighted in bold within the course outline. The curriculum begins with an introduction to the system, progresses through hands-on workshops to provide practical knowledge for managing private clouds based on OpenStack, and concludes with troubleshooting and advanced architectural topics. The primary goal is to familiarise participants with the OpenStack ecosystem and provide a strong foundation for further expansion and refinement of OpenStack clouds. This course covers all topics necessary to prepare for the OpenStack Administrator certification exam. Seventy-five percent of the course is dedicated to hands-on workshops in a real OpenStack training environment. Upon completion, participants receive all materials and access to the training environment for self-study and further troubleshooting exercises.

Customization options

The full course is designed for at least 5 days. It can be shortened if certain topics are not relevant to the customer. For participants who are beginners to OpenStack (requiring a slower pace), it is recommended to expand the course to 6 days or remove some advanced topics. The course can also be extended by one additional day to cover OVN topics.

This course offers in-depth training on OpenStack networking. It begins by introducing OpenStack and its architecture, then clarifies core OpenStack projects as Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), Block storage (Cinder) in order to describe the surroundings of the networks in OpenStack and mainly focus on Networking project (Neutron). Virtual network infrastructure is described and based on the Open Virtual Network project, Open vSwitch and OpenFlow. The goal of the course is to understand basic operations and architecture of OpenStack as well as to familiarize participants with various networking technologies behind OpenStack, extending information about OVN and underlying flows, resources and tools.

Customization options

The training can be contracted to 2 days, focusing on core aspects relevant for the customer. The training can be also extended regarding administrative, design, networking and/or troubleshooting topics concerning OpenStack deployments. It is possible to describe other underlying SDN solutions like Linux Bridge or OvS.

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

Before committing to an independent OpenStack implementation, conducting further research, or engaging a third-party provider, you can weigh the advantages and disadvantages by attending this course.
Additionally, this topic is available as individual consultancy.

Course Goal:

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

Gain foundational knowledge about OpenStack.

This course delivers hands-on expertise in OpenStack and private cloud security. It begins with an introduction to the system, followed by practical sessions on securing private clouds and hardening OpenStack installations. Throughout the training, participants explore each core OpenStack module, learning to build virtual identities, images, networks, compute, and storage resources while addressing relevant security considerations. Each attendee receives a dedicated training environment featuring a complete OpenStack deployment tailored to specific cloud architectures (such as storage and networking). The curriculum can be highly customized to align with client requirements.

Customization options
Participants may opt for a condensed 2-day schedule focusing on core aspects pertinent to their needs. Alternatively, the training can be expanded to cover administrative, design, networking, and troubleshooting topics related to OpenStack deployments.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or onsite) targets system administrators and infrastructure engineers who aim to design, deploy, and manage private OpenStack cloud infrastructures 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.
