This is no ordinary training, or a death by slide deck kind of a day. On the contrary, it is:

• The choice for seasoned technologists who prefer to learn by doing and are looking to quickly add OpenStack to their professional portfolio
• A shortcut that allows attendees to roll up their sleeves and achieve a thorough understanding of a complex cloud infrastructure by actually building one
• An instructor-led walkthrough that builds on attendees knowledge in systems, networks, storage and virtualization technologies to provide a deep and practical understanding of cloud architecture and deployment options [WATCH VIDEO SAMPLE]
• The coolest way to virtually teleport to our data center while you experience the power of technology from the comfort of your own screen
• Available anywhere with an Internet connection, currently offered in Americas (Pacific) and Asia (India) Time Zones

On the leading-edge of experiential training, DetaCloud Teleport™ offers an advanced solution at an incredible value. Our instructor-led interactive training is delivered via the Web and accessible from most connected devices. Attendees utilize our online lab to perform a step-by-step multi-node OpenStack Cloud deployment from scratch, no scripted installation or automation tools are used.

 

The day begins with a level-setting Linux primer; next, we bring students up to speed on OpenStack fundamental architecture and building blocks, and then walk them through understanding OpenStack components and how they work together:

8:00 – 9:30 AM: OpenStack Overview (Lecture)

• Linux distributions and command line refresher
• A Keystone to Identity and Service Catalog management
• Nova compute, its operating principles and hypervisor selection
• Image Service (Glance) and best practices to provision and run virtual machines on OpenStack
• Networking (Neutron), covers OVS, traffic flow, IP addressing and network configuration options
• Block Storage (Cinder)
• Dashboard (Horizon)

From that point, we provide each of the attendees with their individual multi-node remote lab environment and work through understanding and hands-on installation, configuration and operation of each of the OpenStack core modules.

10:00 – 11:30 AM: Supporting Services, Identity and Image (Hands-on) [WATCH VIDEO SAMPLE]

• Linux networking and host virtualization support validation
• Installation of required packages, updates and services
• MySQL database and RabbitMQ scheduler
• Identity Service: Users, Roles, Tenants, End Points and Service Catalog creation
• Create databases and integrate with Keystone and role assignment
• Install image service and configure glance-api and glance-registry services
• Load and register virtual machine images
• Credentials and persistent environment variables

12:30 – 2:00 PM: Networking, Compute and Block Storage Services (Hands-on)

• Install openvswitch, quantum-server, quantum-plugin-openvswitch
• Install quantum plugin-openvswitch, dhcp and l3 agents
• Configure OVS plugin and create network bridges, routers and ports
• Create Network, Subnets, Security Groups and Floating IP addresses
• Install Nova services (api, scheduler, conductor, compute, cert, consoleauth, genisoimage)
• Configure Compute users, roles and integration with other services
• Use flavors, images and network services to boot and test VM instances
• Use Keypairs, manage and destroy instances
• Install block storage (Cinder) services (api, scheduler, volume)
• Configure LVM and Cinder to integrate with Nova and other services

2:30 – 4:00 PM: Dashboard and Multi-Node Configuration (Hands-on)

• Install dependencies, memcached and novnc
• Install and configure the dashboard and proxy services
• Deploy additional compute node(s)
• Compute node network configuration
• Install and configure Nova compute
• Install and configure Networking services and OVS
• Manage VM instances and compute resources

4:00 – 5:00 PM: Q/A, Open Lab and Wrap-up
