OpenStack COA Info Session
summary
Official COA is a hands‑on, vendor‑neutral practical exam that gives a blank Ubuntu 18.04 lab per candidate and asks to complete 20+ tasks (create users/projects/roles, edit policy and rc files, manage Nova/Neutron/Glance/Cinder/Swift) using the OpenStack CLI or Horizon UI, with no external web access allowed. Exam books for three hours (most finish under two hours), costs $400, and candidates prepare by practicing on DevStack or taking OS‑100/220/320 style courses.
