Course Description:OpenStack is a free and open source cloud computing software platform. The technology consists of a series of interrelated projects that controls pools of Processing, storage, and networking resources throughout a data center.The Foundation Certificate in OpenStack Software Course provides fundamental concepts and understanding of the architecture, design, and deployment of OpenStack. Participants will build the necessary skills to handle OpenStack projects like Compute, Storage, Identity Management, Networking, and Support Services. The Course is designed to accelerate an individual’s understanding of the OpenStack environment. During this Course, participants will learn everything from the history and components of OpenStack to building and maintaining an OpenStack environment.
