Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Training in Los Angeles

The aim of this course is twofold - gain solid knowledge about OpenStack architecture and acquire profound troubleshooting skills. In the architecture part you will learn how to design the hardware for the public and private cloud, prepare high-availability control plane, choose proper size of the flavours, and safely overcommit cloud resources, among other things. Getting knowledge about the internals of Neutron (Networking Service) is another essential part in OpenStack architecture. Next the participant will be introduced into methods of troubleshooting issues in OpenStack clusters starting from general tips, through network troubleshooting up to caveats of main OpenStack services. Around 75% of the course comprises of hands-on workshops in the real OpenStack training environment.

The course is a comprehensive training on OpenStack. It starts with the introduction to the system, then through hands-on workshops it gives practical knowledge on managing private clouds based on OpenStack, finally troubleshooting and advanced, architectural topics are present. The goal of this course is to familiarize with the OpenStack ecosystem as well as to give a strong background for further expansion and refinement of the OpenStack clouds. The course comprises all topics necessary to accomplish the Certificate OpenStack Administrator exam. 75% of the course is based on hands-on workshop in the real OpenStack training environment.

The course is a comprehensive training on OpenStack, extended version of the OpenStack Bootcamp course includes extra excercises, troubleshooting and sample examination tasks. Extended content is highlited in bold in the course outline. It starts with the introduction to the system, then through hands-on workshops it gives practical knowledge on managing private clouds based on OpenStack, finally troubleshooting and advanced, architectural topics are present. The goal of this course is to familiarize with the OpenStack ecosystem as well as to give a strong background for further expansion and refinement of the OpenStack clouds. The course comprises all topics necessary to accomplish the Certificate OpenStack Administrator exam. 75% of the course is based on hands-on workshop in the real OpenStack training environment. After the course participants get all the materials and training environment for self-study and feature/troubleshooting excercises. Customization options The full course is to be meant for at least 5 days. It could be shortened if some of the topics are not relevant for the customer. In case the participants are beginners to OpenStack (slower pace) it is recommended to expand the course for 6 days or remove some advanced topics. The course can be also extended with 1 more day when OVN topics can be presented.  

The course is a profound training on OpenStack networking. It starts with the introduction to OpenStack and its architecture, then clarifies core OpenStack projects as Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), Block storage (Cinder) in order to describe the surroundings of the networks in OpenStack and mainly focus on Networking project (Neutron). Virtual network infrastructure is described and based on the Open Virtual Network project, Open vSwitch and OpenFlow. The goal of the course is to understand basic operations and architecture of OpenStack as well as to familiarize participants with various networking technologies behind OpenStack, extending information about OVN and underlying flows, resources and tools. Customization options The training can be contracted to 2 days, focusing on core aspects relevant for the customer. The training can be also extended regarding administrative, design, networking and/or troubleshooting topics concerning OpenStack deployments. It is possible to describe other underlying SDN solutions like Linux Bridge or OvS.

• Use controllers to operate a software-defined network.

The course is providing practical knowledge on OpenStack and private cloud security. It starts from the introduction to the system, then the participants are getting practical knowledge on security in private clouds and securing OpenStack installation. During the course, each of the core OpenStack modules is presented, participants are building up virtual identity, image, network, compute and storage resources while discussing relevant security topics. Each participant is getting their own training environment with a complete OpenStack installation based on selected cloud architecture (eg. storage, networking). The training could be highly customized based on the needs of the client. Customization options
