Red Hat OpenStack Administration II: Deploy Control Plane Services and Manage Data Plane Nodes (CL270)
Code: CL270
Duration: 2 Day
$2350 USD

OVERVIEW

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.

Note: Starting January 1, 2026, Red Hat introduces RHLS-Course — a flexible subscription model now included with this catalog offering. This replaces the previous direct virtual class enrollment from Global Knowledge.

When you purchase this item, you’ll receive an RHLS subscription at the course level, giving you the freedom to choose the schedule that works best and self-enroll in your selected class.

Your RHLS subscription includes:

  • One live, instructor-led virtual session
  • 12 months of self-paced learning access
  • One certification exam with a free retake

Onsite Classroom-based sessions and closed course options remain unchanged.

GOALS

After this course participants should be able to:

  • Assess and compare a data center environment with commonly used architectures, and prepare to perform an installation of Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift.
  • Install the OpenStack operator and assess the health of its dependent operators.
  • Inspect the network and storage resources that are available in an environment, and deploy an OpenStack control plane.
  • Configure RHEL servers with the required resources to be added as data plane nodes.
  • Deploy the custom resources for a node set and a data plane, and verify that the data plane can handle a test user workload.
  • Add and remove data plane nodes from a node set, and verify the services that are running in the node.
  • Configure the resources of an RHOSO cluster to support cloud user workloads.
