Course Overview

The Longhorn Deployment and Operations (Course LHN201v1.5) by SUSE is designed for system administrators and Kubernetes cluster operators responsible for deploying and managing cloud-native storage solutions using Longhorn. This intermediate-level course prepares candidates for the SCA in Longhorn (sca_lhn1_5) certification exam, equipping professionals such as Platform Engineers, DevOps Specialists, and Cloud Administrators with essential skills in storage orchestration. With SUSE Linux holding a 20% share in enterprise Linux deployments, particularly in financial and government sectors, demand for administrators skilled in SUSE-specific technologies remains strong. The curriculum is tailored for those managing Kubernetes environments with Rancher Manager, emphasizing real-world applicability across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures.

Students engage with core technologies including Longhorn, Kubernetes, Helm, Rancher, Prometheus, and Grafana through hands-on labs conducted in a dedicated lab environment featuring an RKE2 cluster with Rancher and Longhorn pre-installed. Participants gain practical experience installing Longhorn via Helm and as a Rancher application, managing nodes and disk storage, creating and resizing persistent volumes, configuring data replication for high availability, and setting up disaster recovery workflows. A key real-world scenario involves implementing scheduled backups and restoring volumes from snapshots, simulating production-level data protection strategies. The lab exercises reinforce skills in monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, tuning storage performance, and upgrading Longhorn components safely.

This training directly supports certification as a SUSE Certified Administrator in Longhorn, a credential recognized for validating expertise in cloud-native storage management. Professionals with this certification typically earn between $75,000 and $105,000 annually in the U.S., reflecting strong market value.
