Current Release: November 2021 (version 5.0)
Previous Release: April 2021 (version 4.2)
Overview
Reliable and performant data storage is a critical component for enterprise application and infrastructure solutions. Software-defined storage offers organizations the flexibility to grow their data storage requirements while enabling applications to operate at cloud-scale. Red Hat Ceph Storage leverages commodity hardware to create distributed and scalable storage volumes that are both fault-tolerant and provide access via object, block, and file data levels. Successful planning, deployment and operation of a storage cluster can be achieved through completion of Cloud Storage with Red Hat Ceph Storage course. Ceph is an important component for customers deploying containerized applications on Red Hat OpenShift using OpenShift Data Foundations and also for scaling cloud infrastructure with Red Hat OpenStack Platform.
Red Hat Training & Certification is pleased to announce a new release of Cloud Storage with Red Hat Ceph Storage (CL260) for Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.0. This updated course teaches storage administrators and cloud operators the skills needed to deploy and manage Red Hat Ceph Storage clusters in a standalone configuration or as a component of a Red Hat OpenStack Platform or Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform infrastructure. Storage administrators will be able to create, manage, and troubleshoot storage resources, devices, services, and gateways for dynamically scalable business environments.
