This 3 hours long course introduces you the history, development, main building blocks and operation of the OpenStack IAAS (Infrastructure As A Service) cloud solution. It starts with a general cloud primer, continuing with the history, development and main features of OpenStack as well as its architecture and core building blocs. An important part of the training is the demonstration of the basic features and operation of an OpenStack system through its user friendly Horizon dashboard.

This course covers all the core Ansible features including: installing and configuring, running ad-hoc commands, understanding modules, creating and using playbooks, variables and inclusion, task control, templates, roles as well as dealing with sensitive data via Ansible Vault.  

Prometheus is a leading open-source monitoring solution specifically designed for containerized and cloud native environments. Together with Grafana, a leading open source data visualization tool, it also provides a great metric visualization and analysis experience. This course introduces participants to the basic concepts and architecture of Prometheus and Grafana, their basic deployment and configuration, the usage of some basic Prometheus exporters, the Prometheus Query Language, using graphs to build dashboards to display metrics, the Alert Manager, alert integration with external messaging services, writing custom exporters and redundancy options. 

This 4 days long course teaches you the fundamentals and daily operation of the OpenStack open source IAAS (Infrastructure As A Service) cloud solution used for creating private clouds. After a short cloud and Openstack primer it presents the architecture of OpenStack and introduces its base components as well as their configuration and administration in details. Besides in-depth theoretical coverage students also do hands-on exercises with all studied OpenStack components in their own OpenStack lab system.

Linux containers are changing the way companies think about service development and deployment. Containers play a vital role in the modern data-center, and Docker is leading the way. This course covers all the core features of Docker including: container creation and management, inter- acting with Docker hub, using Docker le to create and manage custom images, advanced Docker networking (how to safely expose container services to the world, and link containers), the use of Docker volumes to manage persistent data, and Docker Compose to build multi-container applications. Emphasis is placed on best practices and how to secure Docker installations and containers. Course culminates with comprehensive labs where students use Docker, Git, and a continuous integration server to automate the testing of containerized applications. 

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Participants of this training will learn how to install and setup Kubernetes as well as using it to automate deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. The training now includes a second part focusing on Helm. 

This training is a combination and a slightly accelerated version of the DCK-101 Docker Administration and KBS-101 Kubernetes Administration courses which runs in 5 days instead of 3+3 days. 

The Openstack deployment and advanced administration (OST-204) training builds on the basic Openstack system administration skills gained on the OST-104 course and enhance the delegates’ knowledge with more in-depth information and hands-on exercises in the areas of realizing complex Openstack deployments, using Ceph at Openstack storage systems and implementing Openstack high-availability (HA) solutions. Besides in-depth theoretical coverage students also do hands-on exercises in their own Openstack lab system.
