Course goal:

understand how Public Cloud differs from Private Cloud in the offering and management

gaining basic knowledge regarding OpenStack

The course is providing practical knowledge on OpenStack and private cloud security. It starts from the introduction to the system, then the participants are getting practical knowledge on security in private clouds and securing OpenStack installation. During the course, each of the core OpenStack modules is presented, participants are building up virtual identity, image, network, compute and storage resources while discussing relevant security topics. Each participant is getting their own training environment with a complete OpenStack installation based on selected cloud architecture (eg. storage, networking). The training could be highly customized based on the needs of the client.
