This course has two primary goals: to build a robust understanding of OpenStack architecture and to develop advanced troubleshooting capabilities. During the architecture section, participants will learn how to design hardware for both public and private clouds, establish a highly available control plane, select appropriate flavor sizes, and safely overcommit cloud resources. A crucial component of OpenStack architecture is gaining insight into the internals of Neutron (the Networking Service). Following this, the course introduces methods for troubleshooting issues within OpenStack clusters, ranging from general best practices and network diagnostics to specific caveats 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, progresses 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.
