Who should attend
Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, and System Administrators interested in managing, tuning, and troubleshooting Red Hat OpenStack clusters
Course Objectives
Impact on the Organization
- Organizations can achieve seamless installation, rapid deployments, and centralized management from the core to the edge
Impact on the Individual
- As a result of taking this course, Red Hat OpenStack administrators will be empowered to monitor the health of OpenStack data planes and configure compute nodes by using the transformative capabilities of Kubernetes custom resources and Ansible Playbooks
Detailed Course Outline
Introduction to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
Identify the Red Hat OpenShift architecture and resources, navigate the graphical and command-line interfaces, and find information about commands.
Inspecting OpenStack Services on OpenShift
Identify OpenStack services on OpenShift and assess the health of the OpenStack operator and its dependent resources.
Customizing OpenStack Services
Enable and disable OpenStack services and customize them.
Verifying OpenStack API Connectivity
Identify the resources that connect an OpenStack control plane to its data plane.
Verifying Connectivity to OpenStack Cell Services
Verify that an OpenStack cell is connected to its database and messaging services, and validate the additional services that enable connections to it from compute nodes.
Accessing Storage Resources in OpenStack
Verify the status and connectivity of OpenStack storage resources.
Verifying Reliable OpenStack Services
Configure and assess high availability of an OpenStack control plane and its supporting services.
Verifying Network Encryption for OpenStack Services
Inspect the configuration of OpenStack components and verify that the network communication uses certificate-based encryption.
Inspecting Data Plane Services and Compute Nodes
Identify OpenStack data plane resources and assess their health.
Customizing an OpenStack Data Plane
Apply custom configuration to data plane node sets and verify the applied settings.
Course Content
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.
Course Content Summary
- Check the health of OpenStack operators and workloads and identify disabled or misconfigured services
- Collect troubleshooting information from OpenStack control and data planes for customer support requests
- Enable and customize OpenStack control plane services by configuring the control plane custom resource
- Check the health of OpenStack compute notes and identify missing or misconfigured data plane services
- Remove and replace or reprovision failed compute nodes
