This course is designed to acquaint you with the OpenStack environment, catering to both operators and administrators. Following a concise overview of cloud computing, you will set up your own OpenStack instance and engage in practical operational and administrative tasks. The curriculum encompasses all fundamental aspects of OpenStack, ranging from its overall architecture to cloud management. Approximately 75% of the course involves hands-on workshops conducted within an actual OpenStack environment.

This course has two primary objectives: to provide a thorough understanding of OpenStack architecture and to develop advanced problem-solving skills. In the architectural segment, you will learn how to design hardware for both public and private clouds, set up a high-availability control plane, select appropriate flavor sizes, and manage cloud resource overcommitment safely. Additionally, gaining insight into Neutron (Networking Service) is a crucial component of OpenStack architecture. The course also covers troubleshooting methods in OpenStack clusters, ranging from general tips to network issues and common pitfalls with major OpenStack services. Approximately 75% of the course involves practical workshops conducted in an actual OpenStack training environment.

This course offers an extensive training program focused on OpenStack. It begins with an introduction to the system, followed by practical workshops that provide hands-on experience in managing private clouds using OpenStack. The curriculum also includes troubleshooting and advanced architectural topics. The aim is to make participants well-versed in the OpenStack ecosystem while equipping them with a solid foundation for further development and optimization of OpenStack-based cloud environments. The course covers all essential areas required to prepare for the OpenStack Administrator certification exam. Seventy-five percent of the training involves hands-on workshops conducted in an actual OpenStack training environment.

This course is tailored for IT engineers and architects seeking a solution to host private or public IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) cloud environments using OpenStack.
It also serves as an excellent opportunity for IT managers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the possibilities enabled by OpenStack.

Before making a decision on implementing OpenStack independently, conducting further research, or hiring a third party for implementation, you can weigh the advantages and disadvantages by participating in our course.
This topic is also available as individual consultancy.

Course objective:

To understand the differences between Public Cloud and Private Cloud in terms of offerings and management

To acquire foundational knowledge about OpenStack

Introduction:

OSS/BSS is fundamental to the operations of any telecom operator. With the recent surge in Big Data, the OSS/BSS domain has experienced significant transformations, particularly through the virtualization of these systems. Additionally, many new OTT (Over-the-top) services are web and mobile-based applications that do not align with traditional OSS frameworks. This four-day course dedicates its first three days to building a comprehensive understanding of legacy OSS/BSS systems. The final day is focused on exploring the latest Big Data analytics applications within the OSS/BSS environment.

Target Audience:

• Telecom/Cellular Operations Personnel
• Telecom Sales Experts
• Telecom Operation Vendors and Contractors
• CXO, VP, Director-Level Managers in Telecom

This course provides all the critical knowledge required to approach, understand, manage and successfully carry out a digitalization and retention/archiving project, including security, search and risk analysis techniques and the identification of legal, regulatory, contractual and insurance issues. A set of methodological tools is included in the themes covered, to effectively digitize any process and choose the appropriate solution without getting into the details of the related technologies. Finally, the course offers some food for thought on the changes in store for digital data and the new technologies to consider for establishing true data governance.
