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 provides 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, proceeds through hands-on workshops to provide practical knowledge on managing OpenStack-based private clouds, and concludes with troubleshooting and advanced architectural topics. The goal of this course is to familiarize participants with the OpenStack ecosystem while establishing a strong foundation for further expansion and refinement of OpenStack clouds. The course covers all topics required to pass the Certificate OpenStack Administrator exam. Seventy-five percent of the course consists of 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 a duration of 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. The course can also be extended by an additional day to cover OVN topics.

This training offers an in-depth exploration of OpenStack networking. The curriculum begins with an introduction to OpenStack and its architecture, followed by a detailed examination of core OpenStack projects: the Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), and Block storage (Cinder). This establishes the context for understanding the networking environment within OpenStack, with a primary focus on the Networking project (Neutron). The course describes virtual network infrastructure based on the Open Virtual Network project, utilizing Open vSwitch and OpenFlow. Participants will learn the fundamental operations and architecture of OpenStack, while becoming familiar with the diverse networking technologies that underpin it. Additional insights will be provided regarding OVN, including its underlying flows, resources, and tools.

Customization options

The training can be condensed into a 2-day format, focusing on core aspects relevant to the customer. Alternatively, the training can be expanded to cover administrative, design, networking, and/or troubleshooting topics specific to OpenStack deployments. It is also possible to include coverage of other underlying SDN solutions, such as Linux Bridge or OvS.
