Requirements
- Basic understanding of Linux commands (using the terminal, editing files, running services)
- General knowledge of networking concepts, such as IP addresses, subnets, and VLANs.
- A computer capable of running a small multi-node lab, either with VirtualBox/Vagrant or physical servers (minimum 16GB RAM recommended).
- Willingness to learn complex cloud concepts step-by-step—no prior OpenStack experience required.
Description
Build your own OpenStack (2025.2 flamingo) cloud from scratch — and truly understand how it works under the hood.
This course is a deep, practical, production-focused journey through OpenStack, designed for engineers, DevOps professionals, and IT teams who want to move beyond simple tutorials and gain real, hands-on cloud experience. Instead of memorizing commands without context, you will learn how each OpenStack service fits into the bigger picture and how real cloud platforms operate.
You won’t just deploy OpenStack. You will understand how the entire platform works, including how Nova uses virtualization and hardware acceleration, how Neutron builds networks, overlays, and namespaces, and how Cinder and Ceph deliver reliable distributed storage. You will also explore how identity, images, scheduling, and networking interact internally to form a complete cloud ecosystem.
The course also teaches you how to diagnose, debug, and fix real cloud issues, from broken networking to misconfigured services and failed nodes. You will learn how to plan and deploy OpenStack the same way cloud providers do, combining best-practice architecture with practical troubleshooting skills.
This is not a “copy commands and hope it works” course. It is a complete, step-by-step mastery program that takes you from core fundamentals to production-grade deployment with Ceph, TLS security, logging, automation, and disaster recovery. By the end, you will be able to confidently build, operate, and repair real OpenStack environments.
Who this course is for:
- DevOps engineers, system administrators, and cloud engineers who want to learn how OpenStack works internally and how to deploy it in real-world environments.
- IT professionals transitioning into cloud infrastructure engineering who need hands-on experience with open-source cloud platforms.
- Students and beginners who have basic Linux skills and want to learn OpenStack from the ground up — from core concepts to full production deployments.
- Architects and technical decision-makers who want to design scalable, secure, and highly available OpenStack environments that match their infrastructure needs.
- Engineers working in hosting companies, data centers, or private cloud teams who need practical skills in Ceph, networking, HA, TLS, and day-2 operations.
- Anyone preparing for roles involving cloud platforms, virtualization, networking, or infrastructure automation who wants a strong, hands-on portfolio project.
