Course Overview

The OS250: OpenStack Administration Bootcamp (Ussuri) by Mirantis is a comprehensive 5-day training program designed for system administrators, cloud operations engineers, and technical IT professionals responsible for deploying and managing private cloud infrastructure using OpenStack. This course prepares candidates for the Certified OpenStack Administrator (COA) exam, the official certification from the Open Infrastructure Foundation. Target roles include Cloud Administrator, DevOps Engineer, and Infrastructure Specialist. With OpenStack powering over 45 million compute cores globally and the market projected to reach $91.44 billion by 2029 (Mordor Intelligence), demand for certified professionals remains strong across enterprises, telecoms, and public cloud providers.

Students engage with core OpenStack services including Nova (Compute), Neutron (Networking), Cinder (Block Storage), Glance (Image Service), Keystone (Identity), and Heat (Orchestration) through hands-on labs in a vendor-agnostic environment using reference implementations like KVM/QEMU, Open vSwitch, and LVM. The lab platform leverages Strigo.io, providing real-time access to a full OpenStack Ussuri environment where learners configure multi-node clouds, deploy VMs with SSH keys, manage network namespaces, implement resource quotas, and build autoscaling groups using Ceilometer and Octavia. A key project involves orchestrating a complete application stack with load balancing and telemetry-driven scaling, simulating real-world production scenarios faced by cloud operators.

By completing the OS250: OpenStack Administration Bootcamp (Ussuri), attendees gain the skills required to pass the COA certification, recognized industry-wide as proof of operational proficiency in OpenStack environments. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 15–20% in cloud operations roles, with senior positions commanding six-figure compensation in North America and Europe. Koenig Solutions enhances this training with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Mirantis courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery. Graduates are positioned to lead cloud infrastructure initiatives, support digital transformation projects, or transition into high-growth areas like AI/ML infrastructure and hybrid cloud management.
