A Gentle, Hands-on Introduction to OpenStack with David L. Willson

A Gentle, Hands-on Introduction to OpenStack

We will use an existing OpenStack cluster to provision a stack manually, and if time allows, by template, too.

We will manage Projects, Users, Instances, Elastic IP, and Security Groups, from the GUI, CLI, and if time allows, from a HEAT OpenStack Template.

Finally, we will attempt to build an OpenStack DevStack node in VirtualBox. If you're interested in that part, make sure you have VirtualBox installed, up-to-date, and working! Or, use one of our loaner machines.

David is an outstanding instructor and communicator of complex
topics. He has been an IT professional for over two decades,
teaching Linux since 2000, and operating the Software Freedom School
(http://www.sofree.us/) for the past five years.

This class is in development; your suggestions and feedback are
wanted! If there’s a particular feature of OpenStack that you would
like to see highlighted, please say so early, so we can try to plan
it in.
