OpenStack Training in Turin

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the OpenStack environment from both operational and administrative perspectives. After an initial overview of cloud computing principles, participants will set up their own OpenStack instance to perform practical administrative and operational tasks. The curriculum spans all fundamental components of OpenStack, progressing from architectural concepts to full-scale cloud administration. The course format emphasizes practical learning, with approximately 75% dedicated to hands-on workshops within a real-world OpenStack environment.

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.

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.

This course is designed to familiarize participants with the OpenStack environment from both operational and administrative perspectives. Following a brief introduction to cloud computing, learners will be provided with their own OpenStack instance to perform practical operational and administrative tasks. The curriculum covers all fundamental components of OpenStack, ranging from general architecture to cloud administration. With approximately 90% hands-on workshop time in a real OpenStack environment, the format ensures deep practical engagement.

The course addresses all topics required for the Certified OpenStack Administrator exam, preparing participants both theoretically and practically. The program has been expanded to include additional insights into OpenStack nuances essential for passing the exam. At the conclusion of the course, every participant will have the opportunity to test their knowledge during a mock COA exam.

This instructor-led, live training in Turin (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 instructor-led, live training in Turin (online or onsite) is designed for 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.

This course offers comprehensive training on OpenStack. It starts by introducing the
system, then uses hands-on workshops to impart practical skills for managing private
clouds based on OpenStack, and finally covers troubleshooting and advanced architectural topics. The objective of this course is to familiarize participants with the OpenStack ecosystem and to establish a strong foundation for further expansion and refinement of OpenStack clouds.
The course covers all topics necessary to prepare for the Certificate OpenStack
Administrator exam.

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

Before deciding whether to implement OpenStack independently, conduct further investigation, or hire a third party for implementation, you can weigh the advantages and disadvantages by attending our course.
This topic is also available as individual consultancy.

Course goal:
