OpenNebula Introductory Tutorial, EU Online, September 2024

This is a beginner level course designed to introduce IT professionals to OpenNebula. The course covers the process of installing, configuring and operating enterprise clouds and virtualized data centers using OpenNebula. This course helps anyone who wants to set up a small scale OpenNebula test environment to gain experience working with OpenNebula. Students will be able to learn cloud architecture design, planning and installation, a general understanding of technical and business capabilities of an OpenNebula cloud, and basic configuration and usage of its main components.

This is an interactive course, where the attendees operate on their own labs with a 3-node OpenNebula cloud, which are provided during the course. OpenNebula provides an abstraction layer on top of the infrastructure and technologies deployed in the datacenter. In order for the attendees to get the best understanding possible of OpenNebula as a whole, the labs used during the course make use of the most common open-source technologies that can be used to deploy an OpenNebula cloud. For example, the hypervisor technology used during the course will be KVM, shared file-system for storage, and regular linux bridges and linux firewall for networking. Other technologies supported by OpenNebula will be addressed and discussed as well.

Public courses are available remotely over the internet. The remote courses are given by instructors in an interactive, virtual environment and feature exactly the same contents and hands-on labs as an on-site training.

Specifically designed for:

• An introduction to cloud computing with OpenNebula
• The architecture of the cloud
• Planning and installing OpenNebula
• Virtualization hosts management
• Basic datastore configuration
• Basic virtual network creation
• VM Template creation & instantiation

Attendees are grouped into groups of one or two people. Each group receives a lab, consisting of one OpenNebula frontend node and two hypervisors, accessible through SSH. Attendees are the owners and administrators of their labs. They are able to launch virtual machine, make any configuration changes, debug any problems, access the GUI and the CLI.

English

4 hours, starting at 3:00PM CET.

• Describe the features and benefits of using virtualization and clouds
• Describe different architectures for a cloud that can be deployed with OpenNebula
• Installation of OpenNebula
• Basic configuration and use of main cloud components

No prior OpenNebula skills are required, but participants should have working knowledge of virtualization, networking and Unix/Linux systems.

The instructor will rely on a set of PDF documents that will be explained throughout the course.These documents will be made available to the attendees right at the very beginning of the course. Attendees need a laptop to connect to their hands-ons labs.

This course is also excellent preparation for the OpenNebula Certified Practitioner exam (course fee includes one exam registration to be used just after the course).

Standard price is €750 with discounts for early registration and for public institutions, customers and partners.
