To get a better understanding about OpenStack.
Jan Gustafsson - Polystar OSIX
It was very easy communication during all the course, got answers and help in very pedagogical manner. The trainer is very experienced, I recommend him anyone who is interested in getting good knowledge in this very complicated area :-)
Polystar OSIX
The broad perspective of Openstack, no chance to dive in to deep to be able to keep schedule, more to where to get information from.
Jörgen Selegran - Polystar OSIX
A good mix of hands on exercises and lectures!
Polystar OSIX
The flexibility to answer questions. Good pdf, good examples
