Course Overview
Practical Introduction to OpenStack, includes Training Lab
This course is based on OpenStack Newton Release (2016) - already unsupported. I have published a newer course Mastering OpenStack Administration - Hands-on Lab based on OpenStack 2025.1 Epoxy Release. Click on Instructor's Bio at the bottom of this page for a full list of my courses.
Welcome to Preparing to Certified OpenStack Administrator Exam Course!
The Course provides great introduction to OpenStack and covers all topics listed in current COA Exam (Stein Version) Requirements. However, the Course is based on previous COA Exam Version (2018).
For best experience set-up learning OpenStack Environment, as instructed in Section 12, which includes a guide to set up OpenStack Pike Release Lab.
By end of this Course you will proficiently execute routine OpenStack Administration tasks, like creating Project Networks & Routers, Launching Virtual Server Instances, managing Block and Object Storage in OpenStack Cloud.
In this Course you get not only a detailed and deep understanding of OpenStack, but most important you get a Training Lab to develop practical skills. This Lab is delivered as a Virtual Appliance to install on a laptop or a desktop. It is based on Community Version of OpenStack, so no Vendor bias in the Course.
You will be able to exercise OpenStack tasks day and night, using the Horizon Graphical User Interface as well as Command Line, to get the highest proficiency.
The Course comes with 18 Lab Sessions with more than 120 Objectives to complete. These are practical Exercises, like Create a Volume and Attach it to Virtual Server Instance, then Snapshot the Volume, or Launch the Orchestration Stack with multiple Virtual Resources.
If you are a System Administrator and you want to gain highly paid Cloud Proficiency, this is the Course for you.
Free Preview available for Lecture 17 in Section 5 and for Lecture 37 in Section 9. Enjoy!

I am impressed at how in-depth the instructor discussed about what to expect in the exam, how to prepare in taking the exam, and every single small detail that would be significant to know for an exam that is to be taken remotely.

Great for starting, but the version of openstack explained is very old now

The material is delivered dryly, in an unenthusiastic way. In addition, the content has not changed for 5 years, while OpenStack continues to change. When I compare it to the other courses via Udemy and how enthusiastically these trainers deliver the material, this is really a difficult course to keep the attention because of how it is told.
