"During the past 16 years, the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE)
credential has set a global standard for engineer-level certifications
on Linux, by providing a rigorous, performance-based exam that
accurately represents an IT professional's abilities. This new Red Hat
Training and Certification offering aims to do the same for OpenStack at
a time when demand for highly skilled OpenStack developers, engineers,
and system administrators has soared."
Pete Hnath, director, Curriculum, Red Hat
"As our customers move through the product lifecycle from proof of
concept to production they need a rigorous, hands-on, globally available
curriculum to enable their OpenStack administrators to be successful.
The new Red Hat OpenStack Administration III course extends proofs of
concept by teaching administrators how to integrate Red Hat Ceph Storage
with the key services of OpenStack and provide students with a more
advanced understanding of Neutron networking."
