OpenStack Cloud Architecture and Deployment Hack-a-thon Course

Course Summary

The OpenStack Cloud Architecture and Deployment Hack-a-thon training course is a lab-oriented course, focused on the deployment of OpenStack.

The course begins with an overview of OpenStack cloud components and the way they are used. Student's will learn about the OpenStack Cloud Reference architecture, especially node roles, best practices and scalability, as well as the deployment of prerequisite services and infrastructural services. Next, students will learn advanced software-defined networking with Neutron, alternative Neutron backends, and the Neutron Ml2 framework. Students will explore the OpenStack dashboard, the python-novaclient command line interfaces, and advanced network plugins. The course delves into OpenStack object storage with Swift, and deploying cloud storage with Ceph. Finally, students will learn how Glance and Cinder are used for image and volume storage.
