HCI Stack Administration (HS-ADM)

HCI Stack training on Ceph and OpenStack integration for storage and cloud ops

Description

This training equips participants with skills to deploy and manage scalable Ceph storage clusters on commodity servers. Participants will learn to create and manage storage pools, control access through authentication, and access storage from various clients.

The course also covers disk replacement and node removal without service disruption, as well as OpenStack automation using Kolla Ansible and integration with Ceph. Designed for cloud and storage engineers, with theory, case studies, quizzes, and hands-on labs

Why Take This Course?

  • Deploy Scalable Distributed Storage with Ceph

    Learn how to build and manage highly scalable storage clusters on commodity hardware.

  • Integrate Storage with OpenStack

    Configure Ceph with core OpenStack services such as Glance and Cinder for unified cloud storage.

  • Automate & Manage Cloud Infrastructure

    Use Kolla Ansible to deploy, automate, and maintain OpenStack clusters integrated with Ceph.

Facilities

  • Hands-on Lab Environment – Train using dedicated virtual machines with full access to lab resources via Jumpserver (RDP & SSH), enabling real-world practice throughout the training.
  • Downloadable Lab Environment – Continue practicing after the training with our VM Lab Downloader (.qcow2), allowing you to run the lab environment on your own machine.
  • Complete Learning Materials – Get comprehensive digital training materials and a handbook with up to 1 year access, plus a certificate of course completion.
  • Post-Training Support – Continue learning after the class with access to training records (for online sessions) and community discussion groups to help reinforce your skills.
