OpenStack

OpenStack is a collection of open source software for cloud infrastructure management. It provides a way to study the delivery of compute, network and storage resources through coordinated services. Understanding the platform requires examining individual components as well as the interactions and dependencies that shape day-to-day operations.

Cloud administrators and engineers can develop knowledge of architecture, configuration, identity management and troubleshooting. An appropriate progression helps connect a user request with the work performed by different services. The aim is an operational understanding of private cloud infrastructure, including capacity, availability and maintenance considerations. Training should identify the components and environment used, because OpenStack deployments can differ substantially in their integration choices. Practical investigation benefits from following a request across services rather than considering each component in isolation.
