At Mirantis Training, we're often asked, “How does getting certified in OpenStack give me a competitive edge?” OpenStack professionals have a competitive edge over non-OpenStack professionals because there an increasing demand for professionals who have a great depth of knowledge in the field of OpenStack currently exists. While gaining a solid understanding of OpenStack is most important, being able to confirm your competency is necessary in the workforce. You can easily prove your competency in OpenStack with Mirantis’ industry-recognized certification.
Mirantis is proud to be recognized as the #1 pure-play OpenStack Company and #1 contributor to the Mitaka release, and Mirantis Training is also well-known in the industry as a standard for proving one’s in-depth knowledge surrounding OpenStack.
