Red Hat Training
A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform
2.2. Containers
This section outlines the introduction of containerization in Red Hat OpenStack Platform.
- Containerized Overcloud
- The Red Hat OpenStack Platform director now creates an overcloud consisting of containerized services. Users can implement the following sources for their container images:
- Remote from
registry.access.redhat.com
- Locally from the undercloud (images initially pulled from
registry.access.redhat.com
) - Red Hat Satellite 6 (images synchronized from
registry.access.redhat.com
)
The overcloud continues to support composable service infrastructure using containers to augment existing services. Note that the only services not containerized by default are:- OpenStack Networking (neutron)
- OpenStack Block Storage (cinder)
- OpenStack Shared File Systems (Manila)
Red Hat provides the containers for these services as a technical preview only. - Containerized Upgrades
- The Red Hat OpenStack Platform director provides an upgrade path from a non-containerized Red Hat OpenStack Platform 11 overcloud to containerized Red Hat OpenStack Platform 12 overcloud.
