Re: [Openstack] OpenStack Training
Hi Chris, Rackspace has a free CloudU training and certification program ( http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/cloudu/), which should provide you with a solid grounding in the area of cloud computing. And to learn openstack, in addition to what John said, there are many aspects of OpenStack, such as OpenStack operations, business opportunities etc. Getting involved in the community is a good start. Speaking of using laptop, I just installed RDO from Redhat ( openstack.redhat.com) in a xen vm, and it worked like a charm :-) Cheers, Heling On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 4:15 AM, Chris Bartels ch...@christopherbartels.com wrote: Hi, ** ** My experience with virtualization has been limited to the ProxmoxVE platform, and with it I’m quite adept after working with it for a few years, however I’m looking forward to migrating to OpenStack would like to find a way to learn as much about it as I can, in as efficient a manner as possible. ** ** I’m currently in the process of selling my laptop on eBay so that I can buy a cheap used server with which to tinker with the new OpenStack Grizzly release so I can start to learn first-hand about working with the software, so I have that to look forward to, but I’m also on the lookout for more opportunities to soak up information. ** ** Today I found the ‘OpenStack Foundation’ YouTube channel, and have been watching videos all morning.

Re: [Openstack] OpenStack Training
+1 on Devstack; it's a great learning (labbing) tool in itself. You can even do a multi-node installation with it. Hi Chris, Do check out the recent OpenStack Operations Guide at http://docs.openstack.org/ops/OpenStackOperationsGuide.pdf -- it's a good resource to get you going on a real implementation. Finally, (haven't yet used them but) Mirantis does hold OpenStack training classes - see http://www.mirantis.com/openstack-training/ for details. Please keep the list updated on what else you find - I'm a OS newb as well and looking for all the training sources I can find :) I'm sure they're a lot of us out here as well.
