OpenStack 101: The cloud is now in session (online!)

Grazed from PistonCloud. Author: PR Announcement.

Over the last year, Piston has been training users on the setup, administration and management of OpenStack from our home city of San Francisco. This two-day course has been a great way for us to share our expertise and hear about how companies are using OpenStack inside their organizations, but holding it here in San Francisco meant that access was limited to those with the time and budget to travel.

I’m happy to announce that Piston’s training program is now available online, and our first course, “OpenStack 101,” is scheduled for August 28th. We’re accepting registrations now. This three-hour interactive instructor-led course will cover everything from the basics of cloud computing to a comprehensive look at the components of OpenStack. Students will have hands-on access to OpenStack clouds powered by our software, Piston OpenStack…

Topics include:

• What is cloud? We get past the buzzwords and look at what defines a true *-as-a-service cloud.
• The Components of OpenStack: An Overview.
• Nova: Dive into OpenStack Compute and orchestrate all the things!
• Cinder: Create, attach, and detach volumes with OpenStack Volumes.Neutron: The virtual networking that everyone has been talking about.
• Glance: Solving image management for OpenStack clouds.
• Keystone: Authentication, authorization, and identification for the OpenStack nation.
• Swift: Object Storage — at the speed of cloud.

Register now and let your friends know that there is an easier way to quickly come up to speed on OpenStack, the leading open source cloud framework.
