OpenStack is an open source cloud software that provides an Infrastructure as a Service environment, allowing its users to quickly deploy applications by creating virtual resources such as virtual servers, networks, and block storage volumes. The IT industry's demand for individuals with OpenStack skills is continuing to grow, and one of the best ways to prove you have those skills is by taking the Certified OpenStack Administrator exam.

This appliance is an incredible learning aid, allowing us to interact with OpenStack anytime and anywhere, while working though all the exam objectives explained in this book. Get ready to become an official Certified OpenStack Administrator!
