Overview
This course is part of a series of courses that focus on using OpenShift Container Platform to automate a portion of the software delivery pipeline. The course familiarizes participants to a DevOps environment through the use of agile software development methodology, test-driven development, continuous integration, and a standard operating environment through the use of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). During the course, participants also learn about implementing user stories for an existing Java EE application and deploying the application to an OpenShift instance.
This course is based on Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform 3.5.
What You'll Learn
- Deploying and managing a Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster on commodity servers using Ansible
- Creating, expanding, and controlling access to storage pools provided by the Ceph cluster
- Accessing Red Hat Ceph Storage from clients using object, block, and file-based methods
- Analyzing and tuning Red Hat Ceph Storage performance
- Integrating OpenStack image, object, block, and file storage with a Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster
Curriculum
- Identify challenges faced by traditional storage and explain how Ceph addresses them
- Deploy and expand the storage capacity of a new Red Hat Ceph Storage Cluster
- Manage how Ceph stores data with pools
- Configure Red Hat Ceph Storage using its configuration file
- Configure users for Ceph clients that may access the Ceph storage cluster
- Configure Ceph to provide block storage for clients by using RADOS block devices (RBDs)
- Configure Ceph to provide object storage for clients by using a RADOS gateway (RADOSGW or RGW)
- Configure Ceph to provide file storage for clients using the Ceph Filesystem (CephFS)
- Adjust the CRUSH map, which controls how data is stored, replicated, and distributed across OSDs in the Ceph cluster, in order to optimize resiliency and performance
- Explain how the monitor and OSD maps are managed in order to maintain cluster operation, quorum, and consistency
- Check Ceph cluster status
- Troubleshoot Ceph daemon problems
- Upgrade Ceph software
- Identify the key performance metrics for a Ceph cluster
- Use the KPIs to help tune and troubleshoot the operating system and Ceph software for optimal performance
- Configure an OpenStack cloud to use Ceph to provide image, block, object, and file storage
