Hi,
> .e., there's OpenStack on KVM and OpenStack on OpenStack. A cloud specialty, with a virtualization specialty as prereq? >> Re: Bring things together >> That is a tough one perhaps require multiple LPI-300 exams to gain a Speciality would be my suggestion.... Cloud would require virt+sec+storage+network+etc.... Use a higher level concept.... Too convoluted for me. IMHO at most one specialy requiring another one as prereq, anything else is excessive. Big IT shops (at least the ones I know here in Brazil) tend to have a storage crew, a security/identity crew, a virtualization/OS crew... and nothing prevents anyone from getting multiple specialties. For example, even if I'll actually configure my cloud to use a identity management solution, I do not need to know how to deploy and tune the identity solution itself. I'd need some ldap, ssl and kerberos concepts, but ll I'd need to to a proper virtualization job is the client side. Same for storage: I don't need to be a EMC FibreChannel storage manager, neither an openfiler manager, a gluster admin or even know how to setup pacemaker for HA to be able to deploy a nice opencloud in premises. But I'd need to know what is a iSCSI initiator, demand multipath for resiliency, choose raid levels or choose an object store so my cloud instances can connect to their storage appliances or services. All client-side stuff, and some concepts for planning. If I deploy a small private cloud for a medium enterprise, probably any entry-level NFS NAS would be enough, or I'd use the cloud own object store services for storage, leveraging the cloud servers internal disks. I would not need profound storage and security knowledge, even if the could setup per se would be a Level 3 specialty. In the future I even think cloud and virtualization would stop being distinct specialties, but not now (for the current LPI revisions). []s, Fernando Lozano
