This three-day course provides students with the foundational knowledge required to work with basic cloud components in a Juniper environment. The course summarizes cloud concepts, virtual networks, containerization, and cloud management.

Key topics include:
• Fundamental cloud concepts
• Linux virtualization concepts
• Linux namespace concepts
• Linux containerization
• Virtual network basics
• Software-defined networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
• OpenStack basics and OpenStack networking
• Kubernetes operations and various Kubernetes networking utilities
• Red Hat OpenShift key concepts

Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring cloud automation tools and using various cloud configuration formats. Students will also become familiar with several cloud-native applications. Students will learn and better identify the Juniper solutions for cloud infrastructure, including virtualization (vSRX, vMX), and containerization (cSRX, cRPD).
