Our small team at ${DAYJOB} has built a handful of OpenStack clusters based on Red Hat OpenStack 13 (aka Queens) over the last couple of years.
We now find ourselves in the position of being 'gifted' human resources in the shape of mid-level 'IT people' who are sent to join our team for a short time to 'Learn OpenStack'.
These tend to be people for whom, "Here's a Horizon URL and some creds - go log in and launch a VM"[1]... is a bit much.
I've done a wee bit of web searching (enough to find the dead links) trying to find some newbie friendly tutorials on OpenStack basics. Before I attempt to re-invent the wheel, can anyone suggest some public resources I might point people to?
Deity help us if we have to explain Tripleo's Undercloud, Overcloud, partially containered, partially pacemakered, fully flaky... underpinnings.
Thanks, MC [1] Even with a step by step guide
Hello,
Would https://docs.openstack.org/train/user/ work? For example, you can check the horizon guide to get started with Horizon...
Regards, JP
I have trained many people over the years on how to use Openstack. Giving people horizon as a starting place has never worked out well. Cloud's are not meant to be pointed and clicked at - can you yes ... should you no. I would be starting them at writing an application (in bash maybe) that fires off a couple cloud resources from the CLI - the sooner they stop pointing and clicking - the sooner they can get on with it.
