Chapter 3. Red Hat OpenStack certification The Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) gives you the features and functions to construct a scalable, flexible cloud environment based on proven, integrated technologies from the core to the edge and beyond. 3.1. Prerequisites Before starting the certification, please ensure you have met the prerequisites highlighted in the Red Hat OpenStack Certification - Red Hat Partner Connect General Guide . 3.2. Cinder The Red Hat Block Storage service (cinder) manages the administration, security, scheduling, and overall management of all volumes. To learn more about the cinder test and the subtests, see Cinder test . For detailed procedure on how to perform this certification, see certification workflow . To know more about the configuration options in the cinder service, see cinder . 3.3. Manila The Red Hat OpenStack Shared File Systems service (manila) enables users to provision shared file systems that can be consumed by multiple compute instances. To learn more about the manila test and the subtests,see manila test . For detailed procedure on how to perform this certification, see certification workflow . To know more about the configuration options in the manila service, see manila . 3.4. Neutron The Red Hat OpenStack networking Service (neutron) helps in OpenStack networking-component feature testing, which includes basic and operational functional testing using the Tempest Framework that is integrated in the RHOSP. Neutron includes networking, IP address management (IPAM), and router support to enable routing between internal and external networks. To learn more about the neutron test and the subtests, see neutron test . For detailed procedure on how to perform this certification, see certification workflow . To know more about the configuration options in the neutron service, see neutron . 3.5. Red Hat Virtualized Network Function certification The Red Hat OpenStack Application certification is intended for Partners who want to certify their system using an Openstack application like Virtual Network Function (VNF), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Management and Orchestration (MANO) and those applications which run on RHOSP environment. To learn about VNF certification tests, see Certification tests . For detailed procedure on how to perform this certification, see certification workflow . 3.6. Red Hat Network Functions Virtualization certification The Network Functions Virtualization certification provides new testing on Red Hat OpenStack platform to ensure compatibility and supportability, to reduce risks and increase efficiency of the solutions created by a vibrant partner ecosystem. To learn about NFV certifications, see What is NFV ? For detailed information on NFV, see Configuring network functions virtualization . 3.7. Red Hat OpenStack plug-in certification The Red Hat OpenStack platform provides plug-in certification for containers. Certified containers must meet Red Hat standards for packaging, distribution, and maintenance. Containers certified by Red Hat have a high level of trust and supportability from container-capable platforms, including the Red Hat OpenStack Platform. To get started with OpenStack plug-in certification, see Creating a new certification or recertification project . To know more about the plug-in certification test, see Trusted Container test . To know when a customized container image is required, see Red Hat OpenStack Certification - Red Hat Partner Connect General Guide . To know about the drivers and plug-ins supported by Red Hat on OpenStack platform, see Component, Plug-In, and Driver Support in Red Hat OpenStack Platform .
