Teach OpenStack with our On-Demand Clouds
OpenMetal clouds are built the way OpenStack is intended to be used, on 3 hyper-converged servers. OpenMetal on-demand OpenStack clouds give you root-level access to not just use, but also to administer your cloud. Teach your students to be cloud engineers, not just cloud users.
Instructors can create projects to give each student their own workspace within the cloud. In addition to practice using and administering OpenStack, students can create multiple instances within their projects and practice creating their own OpenStack cloud with nested virtualization. The possibilities are endless!
