Course Overview
Learn to deploy and manage Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift and its external data plan nodes.
Who should attend
Platform engineers, cloud administrators, and system administrators who are responsible for the administration of Red Hat OpenStack clusters, and who must be able to deploy and maintain them.
Prerequisites
- Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) certification, or equivalent skills in Ansible automation and RHEL administration is recommended.
- OpenStack Administration: Control Plane Management (CL170), or equivalent experience with the basic administration of Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift.
Course Objectives
Impact on the Organization
Organizations can achieve advanced technical skills to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift.
Impact on the Individual
As a result of taking this course, Red Hat OpenStack administrators will be empowered to deploy and scale Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift.
Detailed Course Outline
Preparing to Deploy a RHOSO Cluster
Assess and compare a data center environment with commonly used architectures, and prepare to perform an installation of Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift (RHOSO).
The OpenStack Operator
Configure prerequisite operators and resources, and install the OpenStack operator.
Deploying a RHOSO Control Plane
Configure the OpenShift custom resources that are required to deploy an OpenStack control plane, and then deploy the control plane.
Preparing RHEL Servers for Data Plane Deployment
Configure RHEL Servers with the required resources to be added as data plane nodes.
Deploying a RHOSO Data Plane
Create the custom resources for a node set and a data plane, and verify that the data plane can handle a test user workload.
Managing Data Plane Node Sets
Add and remove data plane nodes from a node set, and troubleshoot, fix, and verify the services that are running in a node.
Preparing a RHOSO Cluster for User Workloads
Configure the resources of a RHOSO cluster to support cloud user workloads.
Course Content
OpenStack Administration II: Deploy Control Plane Services and Manage Data Plane Nodes (CL270) is designed for administrators of Red Hat OpenStack who want to enhance their skills in deploying and managing Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift. Participants will learn the processes, tools, and technologies to set up a functional OpenStack cluster, and to manage and troubleshoot data plane nodes to host cloud user workloads.
Through hands-on practice and real-world scenarios, attendees will install prerequisite operators and create custom resources effectively. In addition, attendees will develop troubleshooting skills for managing OpenStack compute nodes by using the External Data Plane Management (EDPM) automation engine.
This course is based on Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift 18.
