Overview
Use Red Hat OpenShift to manage OpenStack services and RHEL compute nodes that run VM-based workloads.
OpenStack Administration: Control Plane Management (CL170) helps Red Hat OpenStack cluster administrators to manage the health and performance of OpenStack control plane services, to troubleshoot issues by inspecting Kubernetes operators and workloads, and to configure OpenStack control plane services by using Kubernetes custom resources.
This course is based on Red Hat OpenShift Services on OpenStack 18.
Prerequisites
Participants should have:
- Successful completion of Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) is recommended
- Recommended, but not required: Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible (RH294) or demonstrate equivalent skills
- Red Hat OpenShift Administration I: Operating a Production Cluster (DO180) or demonstrate equivalent skills
- Basic data center storage concepts: storage protocols, NAS, and SAN
- Data center networking concepts: ISO model, VLANs, firewalls, and Internet protocols, including but not limited to ICMP, IP, and HTTP
- Basic object storage concepts, such as experience with AWS S3, are useful but not required
- Ceph administration skills are useful but not required
Target Audience
This course is designed for:
Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, and System Administrators interested in managing, tuning, and troubleshooting Red Hat OpenStack clusters
Learning Objectives
