OpenDaylight in Production: Scaling and Optimizing SDN Deployments

• Basic understanding of OpenDaylight architecture and functionality
• Experience with network administration or software-defined networking (SDN)
• Familiarity with Linux command-line tools

Audience

• IT architects
• Network administrators
• Engineers managing SDN environments

OpenDaylight is an open-source platform designed for building and managing software-defined networking (SDN) environments at scale.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level IT architects, network administrators, and engineers who wish to deploy OpenDaylight in production environments, optimize its performance for large-scale use, and troubleshoot common issues in SDN deployments.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Deploy OpenDaylight in production environments for scalable SDN solutions.
• Optimize the performance of OpenDaylight deployments to handle high traffic volumes.
• Troubleshoot and resolve common issues in SDN deployments.
• Monitor and maintain OpenDaylight environments for long-term stability.
• Scale OpenDaylight deployments to meet growing network demands.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
