OpenStack Cloud Architecture and Deployment
Become adept at managing and using private and public clouds with OpenStack.
Course Description
OpenStack is growing at an unprecedented rate, and there is incredible demand for individuals who have experience managing this cloud platform. In this course you will become adept at managing and using private and public clouds with OpenStack, and develop hands-on experience with essential commands, automation, and troubleshooting.
OpenStack Cloud Architecture and Deployment teaches you how to deploy, administer, and use the core OpenStack services. Each objective focuses on practical requirements for managing and using an OpenStack cloud. The course emphasizes both architectural concepts and practical demonstrations, with students performing hands-on labs for each objective.
The course covers full lifecycle OpenStack services, including deployment, administration, usage, and distributed storage. Core OpenStack services covered include computing (using Nova), networking (using Neutron), distributed storage (using Ceph), orchestration (using Heat), telemetry (using Ceilometer), imaging (using Glance), and identity (using Keystone).
The course introduces the OpenStack Horizon GUI, and provides extensive coverage of command line tools and automation with Heat templates. It also covers service administration across all core services.
