Course Overview

The OpenStack, Ansible and Kubernetes course by OpenStack is designed for cloud administrators, platform engineers, and system administrators responsible for managing hybrid cloud environments. This comprehensive training focuses on the integration of OpenStack with Kubernetes and Ansible, specifically aligned with Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift (RHOSO) 18. Learners prepare for advanced cloud operations, including control plane management and automation, with skills directly applicable to the CL170 certification exam. As enterprises increasingly adopt containerized infrastructure, demand for professionals skilled in OpenStack and Kubernetes has surged, with telecom and cloud service providers actively migrating legacy VMware workloads to unified OpenShift platforms, creating significant career opportunities.

Students gain hands-on experience with key technologies including Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Kubernetes operators, Ansible Playbooks, OpenStack control plane custom resources, and Ceph storage. The lab environment is based on Red Hat OpenShift, where learners configure and manage OpenStack services running as containerized workloads. Participants build and customize OpenStack control plane services using Kubernetes custom resources, verify API connectivity, assess high availability, and troubleshoot both control and data planes. A core real-world scenario involves reprovisioning failed compute nodes and verifying secure, encrypted network communication across OpenStack components, ensuring resilience in production environments.

This course prepares candidates for the Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift certification, a recognized credential in enterprise cloud infrastructure. Certified professionals can expect competitive salaries, with roles like Senior Virtualization Specialist at Red Hat offering compensation between $189,300 and $302,810 annually. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with official courseware, hands-on labs, and expert instruction, ensuring practical mastery of complex cloud environments. Upon completion, graduates are equipped to lead cloud modernization initiatives, driving operational efficiency and enabling scalable, future-proof infrastructure across hybrid and edge deployments.
