Customization Options

The full course is designed to last at least 5 days. It can be shortened if certain topics are not relevant to the customer. If participants are new to OpenStack (and may require 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.

The course offers a deep dive into OpenStack networking. It begins with an introduction to OpenStack and its architecture, followed by an explanation of key OpenStack projects such as the Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), and Block storage (Cinder). This foundational knowledge sets the stage for a detailed exploration of OpenStack's Networking project (Neutron). The course delves into virtual network infrastructure, leveraging the Open Virtual Network (OVN) project, Open vSwitch, and OpenFlow. The primary goal is to provide participants with a solid understanding of OpenStack's basic operations and architecture, as well as an in-depth look at the various networking technologies that underpin it, including detailed information on OVN, underlying flows, resources, and tools.

Customization Options

The training can be tailored to a 2-day format, focusing on core aspects relevant to the customer's needs. Alternatively, the course can be extended to cover additional topics such as administration, design, networking, and troubleshooting related to OpenStack deployments. It is also possible to explore other underlying SDN solutions like Linux Bridge or OvS.

The goal of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the OpenStack environment from both an operator's and administrator's perspective.
