RHOSP18 - Provision Control Plane Services and Manage Data Plane Nodes

Welcome to this quick course on Provision Control Plane Services and Manage Data Plane Nodes in RHOSP18.

Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift (RHOSO) is the next generation of Red Hat OpenStack Platform. Click here for more information.

This course provides step-by-step instructions for deploying a Red Hat OpenStack Platform 18 cluster.

The course includes a hands-on lab with a pre-deployed Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) cluster. You will deploy Red Hat OpenStack control plane services on top of the RHOCP cluster. Additionally, this training covers the steps to provision a pre-deployed compute node that acts as the data plane of your RHOSP deployment. You will attach the pre-deployed compute node to the RHOSP18 control plane running on the OCP cluster.
