Overview
This course empowers administrators to effectively manage the health and performance of OpenStack control plane services using Red Hat OpenShift. Participants will learn to troubleshoot issues by inspecting Kubernetes operators and workloads, and configure OpenStack services through Kubernetes custom resources.
Objectives
By the end of this course, leaner will be able to:
- Monitor and manage the health of OpenStack control plane services.
- Troubleshoot issues by inspecting Kubernetes workloads and operators.
- Configure OpenStack control plane services using Kubernetes custom resources.
Prerequisites
- Completion of foundational Linux system administration training or equivalent experience.
- Familiarity with data center storage concepts, including storage protocols, NAS, and SAN.
- Understanding of data center networking concepts, such as the ISO model, VLANs, firewalls, and Internet protocols (e.g., ICMP, IP, HTTP).
- Basic knowledge of object storage concepts (experience with platforms like AWS S3 is beneficial but not mandatory).
- Ceph administration skills are advantageous but not required.
