Unlock the power of OpenStack for Telco Cloud deployments! This comprehensive course provides both theory and practical experience with all key OpenStack components, specifically tailored to the context of NFV (Network Functions Virtualization).
A major hurdle in mastering OpenStack is access to a practical lab. This course solves that problem! Learn to build your own OpenStack lab on Google Cloud – for free! This allows you to continue practicing even after course completion. While not a full-scale production environment (approximately 80% functionality), it provides invaluable hands-on experience.
Designed with the daily tasks of a Telco cloud operations engineer in mind, this course is also ideal for anyone seeking to understand Telco cloud architecture and OpenStack fundamentals. You'll delve into core concepts like NFV, VNF (Virtual Network Function), ETSI/MANO (Management and Orchestration), and SDN (Software-Defined Networking) – all crucial for the cloudification of the core network and RAN (Radio Access Network).
What you'll build: Throughout the course, you'll gain real-time experience by creating flavors, images, VMs (Virtual Machines), and VNFs (Virtual Network Functions).
