Duration
4 days
Overview
The OS110 bundle includes both OpenStack Bootcamp (OS100) and OpenStack Certification Exam (OCM100). The total duration is three and a half days. The first three days will be spent in OpenStack Bootcamp I, with the exam running on the 4th day.
This course and exam bundle is for IT operations, Network Admins, Security or Storage architects responsible for design, and/or indirect support and operation of an OpenStack installation. The course provides participants with a detailed understanding of the steps necessary to operate an OpenStack environment. The lecture covers architecture, best practices, provisioning workflow, component interaction, and is the best preparation for the real-world challenges faced by OpenStack experts. The course is broken up into three sections: lectures, labs, and hands-on certification.
The lectures provide OpenStack Overview and Architecture, Openstack Networking, Cloud Storage using Swift, Metering with Ceiliometer, Orchestration using Heat templates, and a look ahead to the OpenStack roadmap.
The labs provide hands-on experience on an all-in-one OpenStack Environment. Students will be given opportunities to use and administer OpenStack using horizon and command line. Over the course of 12+ lab modules, students will get to practice and engage with all core components of OpenStack. The labs conclude with a comprehensive review to solidify the hands-on skills that are required to operate an OpenStack environment.
The certification exam tests a candidate’s ability to create, configure, and manage private clouds using OpenStack. The exam will run on the 4th day and is completely hands-on with an allotted time of three hours. The course will prepare students for the certification exam.
