By the end of the program, participants will be equipped to understand OpenStack architecture, deploy private cloud infrastructure, manage compute and storage resources, implement security via Keystone, and apply best practices for enterprise deployments.

This live, instructor-led training in Latvia (delivered online or onsite) is tailored for intermediate-level network engineers and infrastructure administrators who aim to implement software-defined networks using open source tools and technologies.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be capable of designing SDN architectures, implementing Open vSwitch, configuring FRRouting, deploying SDN controllers, and automating network management.

This live, instructor-led training in Latvia, available online or onsite, targets intermediate network and infrastructure professionals. It equips them to design, deploy, and operate self-managed enterprise networks using open-source tools for routing, switching, Wi-Fi, and management.

By the end of the training, participants will be able to: design open-source enterprise network architectures, configure routing, switching, and wireless services, enhance security and observability, and establish an operational plan for continuous support.

Uptime Kuma is a straightforward, self-hosted monitoring tool that tracks the availability of websites, services, and infrastructure. It serves as a viable replacement for Pingdom, Datadog Synthetics, and UptimeRobot, empowering teams to retain direct control over their monitoring data. This instructor-led, live training (delivered online or on-site) is designed for beginner-to-intermediate SREs and DevOps engineers looking to replace cloud-based uptime monitoring with a self-hosted, sovereign status tracking platform.

This live, instructor-led training in Latvia (available online or on-site) targets security engineers and system administrators seeking to deploy and manage enterprise-grade self-hosted VPN solutions using WireGuard and OpenVPN.

By the end of the session, participants will be proficient in deploying WireGuard and OpenVPN, designing scalable architectures, integrating identity systems, and monitoring and securing the VPN infrastructure.

OpenVPN and WireGuard are the premier open-source VPN protocols. Hosting your own VPN server ensures that no third-party vendor can log traffic metadata, inject advertisements, or comply with foreign data requests. This training covers both protocols to suit different threat models and performance requirements.

Wazuh is an open-source security platform that provides unified XDR and SIEM capabilities for threat detection, integrity monitoring, incident response, and compliance. It aggregates endpoint telemetry into a self-managed analysis engine, positioning itself as a strong alternative to Splunk Enterprise Security, Microsoft Sentinel, and other cloud-native SIEMs.

Woodpecker CI is a straightforward and robust continuous integration engine tailored for self-hosted Git platforms such as Gitea and Forgejo. It delivers a streamlined, Docker-native CI/CD solution, eliminating the complexity and licensing costs associated with enterprise CI systems.

This instructor-led, live training in Latvia (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate to advanced security professionals looking to implement Zero Trust Architecture using open-source tools and sovereign infrastructure.

By the end of this training, participants will be equipped to design Zero Trust architectures, deploy identity-aware proxies, implement dynamic authentication, secure microservices with service mesh, and monitor zero trust policies.
