This course is designed toprovide a solidunderstanding of theOpenStack cloud. First, you will learn about OpenStack and its collection ofwebservices.Then you willattain OpenStack mastery by installing it on your Mac,Windows PC, aCentOS or UbuntuLinux systemand doing hands-on labs. Iwill teach you how to setup a "multinode" OpenStack cluster using the VirtualBox andVagrant software.After this, you canpractice hands-on,at your own pace, by building out several real-world lab scenarios.
Iwill walk you through everything step-by-step using my video lecturesand helpinresolvinganyissues you may face,using the Udemy Q&A facility. So, feel free to reach out to me anytime you have questions or run intoproblems. I have used my professional experience to make iteasy for you to grasp thedifficult OpenStack subject materialby illustrating complex concepts using simple andeasy to understanddiagrams and severallab scenarios.
We will get into the details of allthe core OpenStack cloud services and understand in-depth as to how things work using practice labs.
