The conversation around the adoption of OpenStack, the open source cloud technology platform, continues to gain momentum. Analysts at Forrester recently declared it “enterprise-ready” while many enterprise companies have taken the leap and deployed it. One thing that seems to be a dominant theme is that there are not enough professionals with OpenStack skills to keep up with demand.
A recent SUSE report recently cited that 86 percent of senior IT professionals looking to move business-critical workloads to the private cloud say that a lack of available skillset is making their company reluctant to pursue it. In an effort to mitigate this OpenStack talent shortage and increase access to learning, The Linux Foundation recently launched an online self-paced course covering OpenStack Administration Fundamentals.
