Red Hat OpenStack Explained

How to get certified

Deploy an OpenStack-based cloud in your organization and take on new IT Challenges.

OpenStack is an open source platform that uses pooled virtual resources to build and manage private and public clouds. The tools that comprise the OpenStack platform, called “projects,” handle the core cloud-computing services of compute, networking, storage, identity, and image services. More than a dozen optional projects can also be bundled together to create unique, deployable clouds.

In virtualization, resources such as storage, CPU, and RAM are abstracted from a variety of vendor-specific programs and split by a hypervisor before being distributed as needed. OpenStack uses a consistent set of application programming interfaces (APIs) to abstract those virtual resources 1 step further into discrete pools used to power standard cloud computing tools that administrators and users interact with directly.

Not quite. There are a lot of similarities, but they’re not the same.

Yes, OpenStack and virtualization management platforms both sit on top of virtualized resources and can discover, report, and automate processes in vendor-disparate environments.

But while virtualization management platforms make it easier to manipulate the features and functions of virtual resources, OpenStack actually uses the virtual resources to run a combination of tools. These tools create a cloud environment that meets the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s 5 criteria of cloud computing: a network, pooled resources, a user interface, provisioning capabilities, and automatic resource control/allocation.

Succeed with your proven real-world skills.

Lab-intensive training

Our OpenStack courses are conducted like guided labs, where your time is spent developing skills working directly on our products, gaining the practical experience that translates to your work.

Our performance-based exams prove your ability to install, configure, manage, and more. Get ahead by demonstrating your OpenStack skills.

Understand OpenStack and its components, top to bottom

Red Hat OpenStack Technical Overview (CL010)
This free series of on-demand, online videos detail the basics of cloud computing and Red Hat OpenStack Platform. Through a number of demonstrations and use cases , you will develop a high level of understanding of Red Hat OpenStack Platform capabilities.

Red Hat OpenStack Administration I (CL110)
This course will teach students to install a proof-of-concept, configure, use, and maintain Red Hat OpenStack Platform. This course covers the core services: identity (Keystone), block storage (Cinder), image (Glance), networking (Neutron), compute and controller (Nova), and dashboard (Horizon).

Red Hat OpenStack Administration II: Day 2 Operations for Cloud Operators (CL210)
This course teaches system administrators how to implement a cloud computing environment using Red Hat OpenStack Platform, including installation, configuration, and maintenance. It contains content for both Red Hat OpenStack Administration I and II. The course can also help prepare students for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Cloud Infrastructure exam (EX210).

Red Hat OpenStack Administration III: Networking & Foundations of NFV (CL310)
This course provides extensive hands-on training for experienced system administrators in how to use the distributed storage features of Red Hat Ceph Storage and the networking capabilities of OpenStack Neutron. The course can also help students prepare for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Edge Computing and Networking exam (EX310).

Get trained on the tools you need to create a unified hybrid cloud infrastructure
