After a short cloud and OpenStack primer, this course presents the architecture of OpenStack and introduces its base components and administration in detail. Components covered are the Horizon GUI dashboard, OpenStack CLI, the Keystone identity system, the Nova compute service, the Neutron network service, software-defined networking, the Glance image service, the Cinder block storage service, the Ceilometer metering solution, the Heat orchestration services, and the Swift object store.
