OpenStack Administration: Control Plane Management [CL170]

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.

Note: This course is offered as a 2-day in person class, a 3-day virtual class, or is self-paced class. Durations might vary based on the delivery. For full course details, scheduling, and pricing, select your location, and then click “Get started” in the main menu.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.

OBJECTIVES

• 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

AUDIENCE

Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, and System Administrators interested in managing, tuning, and troubleshooting Red Hat OpenStack clusters

CONTENT

1- 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.

2- Inspecting OpenStack Services on OpenShift

Identify OpenStack services on OpenShift and assess the health of the OpenStack operator and its dependent resources.

3- Customizing OpenStack Services

Enable and disable OpenStack services and customize them.

4- Verifying OpenStack API Connectivity

Identify the resources that connect an OpenStack control plane to its data plane.

5- 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.

6- Accessing Storage Resources in OpenStack

Verify the status and connectivity of OpenStack storage resources.

7- Verifying Reliable OpenStack Services

Configure and assess high availability of an OpenStack control plane and its supporting services.

8- Verifying Network Encryption for OpenStack Services

Inspect the configuration of OpenStack components and verify that the network communication uses certificate-based encryption.

9- Inspecting Data Plane Services and Compute Nodes

Identify OpenStack data plane resources and assess their health.

10- Customizing an OpenStack Data Plane

Apply custom configuration to data plane node sets and verify the applied settings.
