Use Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift 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 OpenStack Services on Openshift 18.

What you'll learn

  • 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

Course Outline

01Introduction 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.
02Inspecting OpenStack Services on OpenShift Identify OpenStack services on OpenShift and assess the health of the OpenStack operator and its dependent resources.
03Customizing OpenStack Services Enable and disable OpenStack services and customize them.
04Verifying OpenStack API Connectivity Identify the resources that connect an OpenStack control plane to its data plane.
05Verifying 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.
06Accessing Storage Resources in OpenStack Verify the status and connectivity of OpenStack storage resources.
07Verifying Reliable OpenStack Services Configure and assess high availability of an OpenStack control plane and its supporting services.
08Verifying Network Encryption for OpenStack Services Inspect the configuration of OpenStack components and verify that the network communication uses certificate-based encryption.
09Inspecting Data Plane Services and Compute Nodes Identify OpenStack data plane resources and assess their health.
10Customizing an OpenStack Data Plane Apply custom configuration to data plane node sets and verify the applied settings.
