Free of charge license options?

Latest response

After signing up to the developer program, Red Hat grants me a free license to RHEL for development purposes. Is there a similar option for Red Hat OpenStack Platform?

My developer license doesn't cover the OpenStack repos:

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-openstack-8.0-rpms --enable=rhel-7-server-openstack-7.0-optools-rpms
Error: 'rhel-7-server-openstack-8.0-rpms' does not match a valid repository ID. Use "subscription-manager repos --list" to see valid repositories.
Error: 'rhel-7-server-openstack-7.0-optools-rpms' does not match a valid repository ID. Use "subscription-manager repos --list" to see valid repositories.

My goal is preparation for the certification exam EX210, which seems to contain questions about Director.

Nope, RHOSP requires a dedicated subscription.

But (for the sake of the archives) if you go to tripleo.org and follow the Install Guide there, you'll get a CentOS based OpenStack that is sufficiently similar to a RHOSP environment to help you prepare for your exam. The official Red Hat documentation more or less applies one-to-one to the CentOS based environment.

Hi Jurjen, I hope that all is well; How can I contact you? Do you have an email?

Thanks for answer. Let me clarify: At the time I asked the question, the exam was based on RHOSP 8. I could not successfully install the equivalent TripleO version (based on Liberty? I don't remember), probably because the TripleO community can't afford supporting older releases. The tweaks required to make it work were too much for me - if it could be made to work at all.

The exam has been updated, and it looks like there is now a better match of TripleO to the RHOSP version required for the exam. In a year from now, I fear it will be as before, so I have no time to lose :)
