Use Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift and RHEL compute nodes that run VM-based workloads.
Organizations can achieve seamless installation, rapid deployments, and centralized management from the core to the edge.
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.
As a result of taking this course, Red Hat OpenStack administrators will be empowered to monitor the health of OpenStack data planes and configure compute nodes by using the transformative capabilities of Kubernetes custom resources and Ansible Playbooks.
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.
