Hi, my name is Bernd Bausch, and I'd like to welcome you to my
Pluralsight course, RHCSA for Red Hat OpenStack: Using OpenStack.
This course starts your journey towards Red Hat's RHCSA OpenStack certificate.
In 2010, OpenStack stepped onto the scene with a bang.
It's as if the world had been waiting for an open-source cloud project
that actively invited any interesting party to join in.
By now, OpenStack has evolved tremendously and is becoming a standard
in domains like network function virtualization.
After this course, you will be familiar with OpenStack's overall
structure and mode of operation, and you will be comfortable
performing fundamental tasks such as creating complex networking
structures, provisioning servers and connecting them to networks,
and automatically configuring servers. OpenStack features a
browser-based GUI and a commandline interface, you will use both.
The course doesn't assume any knowledge about cloud computing,
but expects you to be comfortable with Linux and the Linux
commandline, and to have a basic understanding of networking technology.
The door is open, take the first step, and enter the world of OpenStack.
