OpenStack training courses

We deliver OpenStack training for engineers, administrators, and architects. Our instructors work with OpenStack daily in production environments - courses are based on real operational experience, not just documentation.

To date, we have run over 30 multi-day training sessions and trained more than 250 people. Our clients have included major telecoms, data centers, research institutions, government ministries, and companies building private and public clouds - giving us a broad cross-section of the market and exposure to very different operational requirements. Each participant gets their own OpenStack cluster to work on during the course. We adjust the curriculum before each training to match your team’s background and goals.
