OpenStack Installation and Deployment

Learn to Install & Deploy OpenStack with this comprehensive course! Discover how to leverage this powerful open source cloud management software to build your own private or public cloud infrastructure.

This course focuses on practical skills, using OpenStack Pike as the base for demonstrations (though some specifics may differ from newer releases). You'll gain expertise in managing a wide range of compute, network, and storage virtualization technologies with extensive configuration options.

We begin with a detailed overview of the OpenStack installation process, performing a manual installation to build a solid foundation. Then, we accelerate deployment with automated deployment using Kolla-Ansible, streamlining your OpenStack setup.

Prerequisites: This course is designed for individuals with intermediate Linux administration skills.

Tools You'll Master:

• Ansible: For automation and configuration management.
• Docker CE: Containerization for application deployment.
• VirtualBox & Vagrant: Virtualization for testing and development.
• Shell Scripts: Automating tasks and workflows.
• GitHub: Version control and collaboration.
• Google Cloud Platform: Integration with cloud services.

Infrastructure Technologies Covered:

• Linux Bridges & Open vSwitch: Network virtualization.
• KVM & QEMU: Virtual machine technologies.
• Ceph & LVM: Scalable storage solutions.
• MariaDB & Galera: Database management.
• RabbitMQ & HAProxy: Message queuing and load balancing.
• And more!

You'll see OpenStack installation and deployment in both a single all-in-one machine setup and a multi-node environment featuring controller high availability and Ceph for storage pooling. This course emphasizes the community version of OpenStack and community-driven installation & deployment tools, providing you with the skills to build and manage a robust and scalable cloud infrastructure.
