Private Cloud Infrastructure: OpenStack for Enterprises Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Czech Republic (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 program serves as comprehensive training for OpenStack. It commences with an introduction to the
system, followed by practical workshops that equip participants with the skills to manage private
clouds built on OpenStack, and concludes with topics on troubleshooting and advanced architectural concepts. The primary objective is to familiarize learners with the OpenStack ecosystem while establishing a solid foundation for further expansion and optimization of OpenStack clouds.
The course covers all necessary topics required to successfully complete the OpenStack
Administrator certification exam.

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the OpenStack ecosystem from both operational and administrative perspectives. Following a concise overview of cloud computing fundamentals, participants will be provisioned with their own OpenStack instance to perform practical exercises. The curriculum explores essential OpenStack components, ranging from high-level architecture to detailed cloud administration. The instructional approach emphasizes experiential learning, with approximately 75% of the course dedicated to hands-on workshops within a live OpenStack environment.

This course provides comprehensive training on OpenStack. It begins with an introduction to the system and proceeds through hands-on workshops to impart practical knowledge for managing private clouds built on OpenStack. The curriculum also covers troubleshooting and advanced architectural topics. The primary objective is to familiarize participants with the OpenStack ecosystem and to establish a robust foundation for future expansion and optimization of OpenStack clouds. The course includes all necessary topics to achieve the OpenStack Administrator certification. Approximately 75% of the training consists of hands-on workshops conducted in a real OpenStack training environment.

This intensive OpenStack training offers practical, hands-on experience in deploying, managing, troubleshooting, and optimizing private cloud environments built on OpenStack. Designed as an extended bootcamp, the course covers core administration topics, real-world troubleshooting scenarios, and advanced architectural concepts aligned with the Certified OpenStack Administrator exam objectives. With 75% workshop-based learning in a live OpenStack lab, participants build the skills needed to confidently administer and further develop enterprise OpenStack infrastructures.

This course provides comprehensive training on OpenStack networking. It begins with an introduction to OpenStack and its architecture, followed by a clear explanation of core OpenStack projects: the Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), and Block storage (Cinder). This foundation helps describe the network environment within OpenStack, with a primary focus on the Networking project (Neutron). The course details virtual network infrastructure based on the Open Virtual Network project, Open vSwitch, and OpenFlow. The objective is to help participants understand the fundamental operations and architecture of OpenStack, while also familiarizing them with the various networking technologies underlying OpenStack, including additional information on OVN, underlying flows, resources, and tools.

Customization options

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

This course delivers practical expertise in OpenStack and private cloud security. It begins with a system introduction, followed by hands-on training focused on securing private clouds and Hardening OpenStack installations. Throughout the program, all core OpenStack modules are explored in depth. Participants will construct virtual environments covering identity, images, networking, compute, and storage, while simultaneously addressing key security considerations. Each attendee receives a dedicated training environment featuring a complete OpenStack deployment tailored to a selected cloud architecture (e.g., storage or networking configurations). The curriculum can be heavily customized to align with specific client requirements.

Customization options
The training duration can be adjusted to two days, concentrating on the core areas most relevant to your organization. Additionally, the course can be expanded to cover administrative tasks, architectural design, networking specifics, or troubleshooting techniques related to OpenStack deployments.

As distributed systems become increasingly intricate, the challenge shifts from the complexity of individual components to the architectural complexity of the entire system ecosystem. This course explores the intricate relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture—two domains that are closely linked yet often poorly defined in practice. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic application into two separate systems that communicate via web services necessitates significant adjustments to both the new systems and the architectural interactions between them.

The curriculum addresses the trade-offs involved, as well as prevailing patterns and solutions for effectively managing complex systems and their internal and external communications.
