OpenStack Services on OpenShift Administration Guide

Running enterprise cloud infrastructure requires a modern approach that bridges traditional virtual machines with containerized orchestration. This course provides a clear, step-by-step path to understanding how OpenStack services run and scale inside an OpenShift environment, giving you the skills to manage hybrid cloud workloads efficiently. By working through this comprehensive text-based guide, you will transition from understanding basic cloud concepts to managing complex infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) deployments hosted on container platforms. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture of OpenStack services running on OpenShift - Configure and manage containerized control planes and compute nodes - Implement software-defined networking and storage solutions for virtualized workloads - Apply modern declarative deployment practices using GitOps and custom resources - Monitor, troubleshoot, and scale cloud services using native logging and observability tools This course begins with essential terminology and the foundational architecture of containerized OpenStack before moving into system configuration, resource management, and daily operational tasks. You will learn through detailed written explanations, conceptual breakdowns, and practical configuration examples designed for modern cloud administrators. This course is designed for IT professionals, system administrators, and cloud engineers who are new to managing OpenStack on container platforms. No prior experience with OpenShift is required, though a basic familiarity with virtualization and command-line interfaces will help you get the most out of the material.
