Course overview

OpenStack Administration: Control Plane Management (CL170) provides participants with hands-on skills in administering and monitoring Red Hat OpenStack environments where the control plane runs on Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift and the compute nodes run RHEL-based VM workloads.
The course focuses on how OpenStack services are managed as Kubernetes resources, how to ensure good health and performance in the control plane, and how to troubleshoot operators and workloads in the OpenShift environment. Participants also learn how to configure and customize the control plane through Kubernetes Custom Resources.
The course is based on Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift 18.
