Description

This course is a step by step guide to deploy a private cloud with OpenStack cloud computing platform and Ceph Storage cluster as storage backend to the OpenStack.

The students will be first given the Introduction of OpenStack, Ceph Storage before dive into the deployment.

The deployment will use Oracle Virtualbox, a free Virtualization software running on Windows 10.

CentOS 7 will be the base OS for all the Virtual Machine

There will be 4 main sections in this course,

1. Introduction

2. Openstack Installation - Install 1 Controller node and 1 Compute node of Openstack step by step

3. Ceph Storage installation - Install 1 Ceph monitor and 2 Ceph OSD nodes with ceph-deploy

4. Integration of OpenStack service with Ceph Storage - Using ceph storage as back-end for Glance image service, Cinder block storage service and Nova compute service.

Who this course is for:

Cloud engineer
IT professional who is interested with OpenStack cloud
IT professional who is interested with Ceph Object storage
IT professional who is interested in Private cloud
IT professional who is interested with Software Defined Storage
IT professional who is interested with Object Based Storage
IT students who is interested with Cloud Infrastructure
