Studying and passing your Certified OpenStack Administrator exam is going to put you on pole position to choose the best positions available. In this course, OpenStack: Installing the Lab Environment, you'll learn how to create the Lab Environment for the Certified OpenStack Administrator(COA). First, you'll explore how to configure OpenStack using PackStack on CentOS 7. Next, you'll build an OpenStack environment on Ubuntu 14.04. Finally, you'll learn to manage and administer those services in a multi-node environment. By the end of the course you'll realize the simplicity that PackStack offers and you'll also understand the work that goes into installing OpenStack manually.
