Virtualization and OpenStack Certification Training with Koenig Solutions

Course Overview

What is Virtualization and OpenStack?

Virtualization and OpenStack is an open source cloud operating system that manages compute, storage, and networking resources across data centers through a unified API layer. Published by the OpenStack Foundation, it delivers Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) functionality, enabling organizations to build and operate scalable private and public clouds. It sits at the core of modern cloud infrastructure stacks, integrating with virtualization technologies like KVM to automate resource provisioning and management. Key components include Nova for compute instance lifecycle management, Neutron for network connectivity services, Cinder for block storage, and Swift for object storage. The Keystone service provides identity and access control, while Glance manages virtual machine images. Additional modules like Horizon deliver web-based dashboards, Heat enables application orchestration, Ceilometer supports telemetry, Trove offers database-as-a-service, and Sahara provisions data processing clusters. This technology is for cloud administrators, infrastructure engineers, and DevOps practitioners who design, deploy, and manage scalable cloud environments, enabling them to automate resource provisioning, ensure high availability, and customize infrastructure services through open APIs.

Everything you need to know about Virtualization and OpenStack certification training with Koenig Solutions.

Virtualization and OpenStack refer to a cloud operating system that controls compute, storage, and networking resources through a dashboard, enabling users to provision resources via a web interface. OpenStack delivers Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) using core components like Nova (Compute), Neutron (Networking), Cinder (Block Storage), Glance (Image), Keystone (Identity), and Horizon (Dashboard). It supports enterprise-scale private and hybrid clouds with high scalability and automation.
OpenStack training at Koenig is designed for cloud operators, system administrators, infrastructure engineers, and IT professionals managing hybrid or private cloud environments. It serves intermediate to advanced learners with foundational Linux and virtualization experience aiming to master day-to-day OpenStack operations, automation, and troubleshooting in production settings.
Learners should have Linux system administration skills equivalent to Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE), experience with command-line tools, and foundational knowledge of virtualization and networking. For advanced courses like CL211, prior completion of Red Hat OpenStack Administration I (CL110) or equivalent hands-on experience with Red Hat OpenStack Platform is required.
OpenStack training at Koenig prepares learners for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Cloud Infrastructure (EX210) exam, which validates skills in managing Red Hat OpenStack Platform. The exam covers configuring identity services, managing compute and storage, monitoring networks, and troubleshooting containerized overcloud services in enterprise cloud environments.
The EX210 exam is a performance-based test lasting 4 hours, where candidates perform real-world tasks rather than answering multiple-choice questions. There is no fixed question count; instead, candidates are evaluated on meeting specific operational objectives. Red Hat does not publish a numerical passing score, but results are reported as pass/fail through Red Hat Certification Central.
OpenStack courses at Koenig range from 8 to 40 hours, with CL211 lasting 40 hours over 5 days. Training is delivered via live online 1-on-1, public instructor-led batches, and classroom sessions, all with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling. Flexible options include weekend classes, self-paced learning, and private corporate batches for teams.
