This course offers an in-depth training programme on OpenStack networking. It begins with an introduction to OpenStack and its architecture, then clarifies core OpenStack projects—including the Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), and Block Storage (Cinder)—to set the context for networking within OpenStack, with a primary focus on the Networking project (Neutron). The virtual network infrastructure is explored based on the Open Virtual Network (OVN) project, Open vSwitch, and OpenFlow.

The training can be condensed into two days, concentrating on the core aspects most relevant to the customer. Alternatively, it can be extended to include additional topics such as administration, design, networking, and troubleshooting related to OpenStack deployments. It is also possible to cover other underlying Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solutions, such as Linux Bridge or Open vSwitch (OvS).
