Cloud Foundation: Linux + Virtualization + Docker

Duration

3 Days

Objective

This is an 3 days session, designed to introduce foundation knowledges of cloud computing. The course will walkthrough Linux OS fundamental, installation and operation, kernel and modules, service and security. The course then introduce concept of Virtualization, concept and implementations such as KVM and VMWare Hypervisor, and virtualized networking. The course will then focus the latest virtualization technology: container. Training will cover docker as container implementation, and kubenetes as container orchestration platform.

This training is valuable for cloud oriented engineers and SDN involved engineers, the concept of virtualization will greatly help engineer understand NFV implementation, and cloud computing is one of most important motivation of SDN/NFV deployment.
