Course Description

Have you built OpenStack in the past and been troubled by the complicated and often overlapping resource requirements? Or have you attempted to upgrade an environment, only to have the new code break all of the old code in the system?

The solution to these issues is to move to a container-based solution for deploying and upgrading your OpenStack service. The Kolla project is one such model, leveraging Ansible to deploy and update your systems environment.

Join us as we delve into the world of containers and take a quick walk through the land of Ansible, deploying and configuring an OpenStack environment. When you complete this course, you will have the basic knowledge to deploy a basic OpenStack system and get the environment running. And THAT is a beautiful thing.
