OpenStack is already an important component of many infrastructures within companies today. The implementation and operation of OpenStack solutions require comprehensive know-how in the areas of compute, network and storage. Most practical implementations today are based on the open source hypervisor KVM, which is also presented in this workshop and used for the exercises. In the course of this training, a complete OpenStack solution will be built using KVM, accompanied by a discussion of the technical possibilities and system limitations. The course provides a deep dive into the installation, configuration and basic operation of OpenStack. In addition, basic tips on troubleshooting and high-availability are taught. Many of the possibilities will be worked out together and then implemented in practice.

Classroom training
- Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!
-
Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
