This course is appropriate for students seeking to learn more about OpenStack. OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface. In this online training course we’ll be introducing OpenStack and its key products, how to install them and how to set up the initial configuration.
