Open Stack Training



ABOUT


OpenStack training provided by DevOpsConsulting.in offers a comprehensive learning experience designed to equip professionals with the necessary skills to manage cloud computing environments. OpenStack, an open-source cloud platform, is widely used for managing large pools of computing, storage, and networking resources in data centers. The training typically covers essential OpenStack services such as Nova (compute), Swift (object storage), Cinder (block storage), Neutron (networking), and Horizon (dashboard). Participants will learn how to deploy scalable and flexible cloud infrastructure and manage both public and private clouds. The training is tailored for a range of skill levels, from beginners to advanced users, with a hands-on approach to ensure real-world application of the knowledge. Additionally, the modular nature of OpenStack allows for extensive customization, which is a key focus of the training.


Through instructor-led live sessions and self-paced materials, the course aims to provide lifetime access to class recordings and ensure participants have the tools needed to effectively implement OpenStack solutions in professional environments.


Certified OpenStack Administrator Preparatory Course
This course prepares students to pass the OpenStack Foundation's Certified OpenStack Administrator exam. With this course, students can increase employer and customer confidence by proving they have the skills required to administer real-world OpenStack clouds! Each student will receive access to their very own OpenStack environment where they will explore all topics covered in the exam as well as the daily requirements of administering the cloud from the Horizon dashboard, CLI, and API.


COURSE OBJECTIVES


The course objectives for OpenStack Training at DevOpsConsulting.in focus on providing comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience in managing cloud infrastructure using OpenStack. Key objectives include:


  • Understanding OpenStack Architecture: Gaining deep knowledge of OpenStack's modular components, such as Nova, Neutron, and Swift.
  • Cloud Infrastructure Management: Learning how to deploy, configure, and manage cloud environments with OpenStack.
  • Automation: Leveraging tools to automate cloud operations, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual interventions.
  • Real-World Application: Applying OpenStack concepts through practical labs and use cases to simulate real-world challenges in cloud management.
  • Integration and Networking: Mastering integration of services within OpenStack and managing complex network topologies.

PRE-REQUISITES


The prerequisites for OpenStack training, especially from providers like DevOpsConsulting, typically include the following foundational knowledge areas:


  • Linux and Command Line Skills: OpenStack operates extensively on Linux environments. Familiarity with basic commands, file management, and networking concepts in Linux is crucial.
  • Networking Fundamentals: Understanding of basic networking concepts like IP addressing, DNS, routers, switches, VLANs, and subnets is important for working with OpenStack's networking component, Neutron.
  • Virtualization Concepts: OpenStack is a cloud platform built around virtualization technologies. Knowing how virtual machines (VMs) work, alongside familiarity with hypervisors like KVM or VMware, is necessary.
  • Cloud Computing Basics: A general understanding of cloud computing principles, including IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and how cloud environments operate, is helpful before diving into OpenStack.
  • Programming/Scripting Knowledge: Familiarity with Python or other scripting languages can be helpful in automating tasks, as OpenStack has many command-line tools and APIs that benefit from scripting.
  • Basic Database Knowledge: OpenStack uses databases like MySQL or MariaDB to store configuration data. Some understanding of database management and queries is useful.
