Course Overview

Advanced OpenStack Deployment by OpenStack is a comprehensive, lab-intensive course designed for system administrators, cloud engineers, and deployment specialists seeking mastery in building and managing private clouds. This course prepares students for the Certified OpenStack Administrator (COA) exam, equipping them with the skills to manually install, configure, and troubleshoot OpenStack environments from the ground up. Targeted at technical IT professionals, including cloud administrators and support engineers, the training addresses a growing industry demand—over 40% of enterprises now deploy OpenStack in production, according to the Open Infrastructure Foundation, making certified expertise highly valuable. With a strong focus on real-world deployment scenarios, the course ensures participants gain hands-on experience aligned with current cloud infrastructure standards.

The course covers core OpenStack services including Keystone, Glance, Nova, Neutron, Cinder, and Heat, using reference implementations such as KVM for hypervisor, Open vSwitch (OVS) for layer 2 networking, and Logical Volume Manager (LVM) for block storage. Students work in a lab-intensive environment, spending over 90% of their time configuring and deploying OpenStack components from scratch on an Ubuntu platform using the stable Ussuri branch. Participants build a fully functional private cloud by installing packages, configuring databases, and validating service integration. A key hands-on project involves launching an instance while analyzing component log files to understand deployment flow and troubleshoot errors, simulating real production debugging scenarios.

By completing Advanced OpenStack Deployment, learners are fully prepared to sit for the COA certification, recognized globally as the standard for OpenStack proficiency. Certified professionals report an average salary increase of 15–20%, with cloud engineers earning between $110,000 and $140,000 annually in North America.
