OVHcloud: from discovery to expertise
OVHcloud course: product universes and regions, OpenStack-based Public Cloud, identity and IAM, networking (vRack, Gateway, Load Balancer), instances and Managed Kubernetes Service, Block Storage, S3-compatible Object Storage, managed databases, Terraform, monitoring, costs and sovereignty, with locally simulated hands-on labs.
At your pace, through practice.By the end of this course you will be able to
- Understand OVHcloud universes and the OpenStack Public Cloud
- Secure identities and access
- Design a private network exposed by a Load Balancer
- Use instances, Managed Kubernetes, storage and managed databases
- Automate with Terraform and run in production
- Assess sovereignty and reversibility concerns

Frequently asked questions
Why OVHcloud rather than a US hyperscaler?
European hosting, SecNumCloud-qualified offers, predictable pricing and open standards (OpenStack, S3, Kubernetes) that ease reversibility. The managed service catalogue is smaller: assess it against your needs.
How can I practise without an OVHcloud account?
The labs simulate the open building blocks: MinIO for the S3 API, k3d for Kubernetes and terraform test mock providers to validate Terraform code. The same commands then apply to the real Public Cloud.
