What's Not Covered?

This course focuses on general OpenStack and NFV concepts and practices. The following are not included in this course:

• Vendor-Specific OpenStack Customization: While we cover OpenStack generally, specific customizations for certain vendors are beyond the scope of this course.

• VNF Lifecycle Management: This involves the full lifecycle from creation to decommissioning and is a broad topic that requires in-depth study beyond this course's scope.

• Ceph Storage: This module deals with distributed storage across multiple servers, which is an advanced OpenStack feature.

• Scale-Out/In (Addition/Deletion of a Compute Server): Adding or removing servers from the compute pool is a complex operation not covered in this course.

• Integration of OpenStack with Any External Tool or API: While we cover basic integrations, deep integration with external tools requires specialized knowledge.
