This course covers the fundamentals of the Openstack open source IAAS
(Infrastructure As A Service) cloud solution, used for creating private clouds. After a
short cloud and Openstack primer it presents the architecture of Openstack and
introduce its base components in details such as the Horizon GUI dashboard and the
Openstack CLI, the Keystone identity system, the Nova compute service, the
Neutron network service and software defined networking, the Glance image
service, the Cinder block storage service and the Ceilometer metering solution.
