This course is designed for network engineers, network operators, cloud administrators, and cloud operators.

· Become a Red Hat^® Certified System Administrator (RHCSA), or demonstrate equivalent experience

· Complete the Red Hat^® Certified System Administrator in Red Hat OpenStack exam (EX210), or demonstrate equivalent experience

This program will be conducted with interactive lectures, PowerPoint presentation, discussion and practical exercise.

Impact on the organization

This course is intended to develop the skills needed to design and configure OpenStack for high-performance networking environments. These skills are suitable for organizations seeking to virtualize their network infrastructure and to provide rapid implementation, innovation, and scaling for both core networking and end-to-end consumer services.

Network virtualization eliminates capital expenditures for dedicated, limited-capability hardware requiring labor-intensive maintenance, operating procedures, and physical expansion. Instead, network virtualization provides scalable, automated, resilient core and custom service deployment, resulting in significant operational efficiencies, resource pooling, global service provider interoperability, and accurate demand-matched utilization.

This course includes recommended practices for high-performance throughput and utilization for both infrastructure resources and deployed services in a dynamically scalable and distributable modular configuration.

Impact on the individual

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to design and tune a Red Hat^® OpenStack Platform environment meeting the high-network performance requirements of your organization.

You should be able to demonstrate these skills:

· Design and implement high-performing software-defined networks.

· Provide higher-performing networks using enhanced platform awareness (EPA), Open vSwitch Data Plane Development Kit (OVS-DPDK), and network functions virtualization (NFV).

Manage the L2, L3, DHCP, and other OpenStack networking agents.

Set up IPv6 networks in OpenStack.

Provision tenant networks and provider networks

Enable distributed virtual routing (DVR) to provide scaling and performance.

Tune OpenStack networking performance.

Execute network functions virtualization (NFV) data paths.

Create software-defined networks with OpenDaylight (ODL).

Configure advanced networking on Red Hat^® OpenStack Platform.
