Course Overview
OpenStack Administration II: Deploy Control Plane Services and Manage Data Plane Nodes (CL270) by Red Hat is an advanced training course designed for platform engineers, cloud administrators, and system administrators responsible for deploying and managing Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift (RHOSO). This course equips professionals with the skills to install, configure, and troubleshoot OpenStack control planes and external data plane nodes using modern automation tools. While the certification exam for CL270 is forthcoming, the course serves as a critical step toward mastering enterprise cloud infrastructure. With over 75% of Fortune 100 companies relying on Red Hat technologies and a 3x increase in OpenShift-related job postings since 2022, expertise in RHOSO is highly sought after across BFSI, telecom, and government sectors.
Participants gain hands-on experience with key Red Hat technologies including the OpenStack Operator, External Data Plane Management (EDPM) automation engine, OpenShift custom resources, RHEL servers, and Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift 18. Through instructor-led labs conducted in a virtual lab environment, students deploy a full RHOSO cluster by installing prerequisite operators, configuring network and storage resources, and provisioning both control and data planes. A core real-world scenario involves creating custom resources for a node set, deploying a functional data plane, and validating its ability to run test user workloads—mirroring actual production workflows in hybrid cloud environments.
This course prepares learners for advanced roles in cloud infrastructure management and supports progression toward elite credentials like the Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA). Professionals with Red Hat OpenStack skills command competitive salaries, with cloud infrastructure engineers earning between ₹10–28 LPA in India and senior architects reaching $140,000–$200,000 annually in global markets. Koenig Solutions delivers this training using official Red Hat courseware and a Guaranteed-to-Run schedule, ensuring reliable access to authorized content. Graduates emerge ready to lead OpenStack deployments, drive automation initiatives, and advance into senior cloud architect or DevOps engineering roles within organizations leveraging Red Hat’s open hybrid cloud platform.
