Cloud Storage with Red Hat Ceph Storage (CL260) Training in Germany

Build, expand, and manage cloud-scale, software-defined storage using Red Hat Ceph Storage.

The Cloud Storage with Red Hat Ceph Storage (CL260) Training in Germany is designed for storage administrators and cloud operators responsible for deploying and maintaining Red Hat Ceph Storage clusters in production data centers or integrating them with Red Hat OpenStack Platform and OpenShift Container Platform environments.

Participants will learn how to deploy, configure, and scale Ceph clusters to deliver object, block, and file-based storage, compatible with Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, and CephFS protocols.

This course is based on Red Hat Ceph Storage version 5.0.

This course is intended for:

• Storage administrators and cloud operators managing Ceph Storage in enterprise or hybrid cloud environments.

• Developers building applications that utilize cloud-based storage systems and need to understand storage types and client access mechanisms.

By the end of this Cloud Storage with Red Hat Ceph Storage (CL260) Training in Germany, you will have gained knowledge and skills in the following areas:

• Deploy and manage a Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster on standard hardware.

• Use the web-based management interface for day-to-day administration.

• Create and manage storage pools and control user access.

• Connect to Ceph using object, block, and file-based access methods.

• Analyze and optimize cluster performance and scalability.

• Integrate Ceph with Red Hat OpenStack Platform and OpenShift for unified storage management.
