CL260 | EX260 Red Hat Ceph Storage Architecture and Administration course training overview

Learn software-defined storage in our Classroom and Online CL260 | EX260 Training at WebAsha Technologies. You practise the hands-on Ceph skills tested in the performance-based EX260 exam.

Training overview:

The CL260 EX260 training covers deploying and administering Red Hat Ceph Storage. It follows the 12 chapters of the last outline Red Hat published for the course (Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.0): cluster installation and configuration, MON and OSD nodes, CRUSH maps, pools and placement groups, replication and erasure coding, block (RBD), object (RGW) and file (CephFS) storage, cluster management, tuning, and use with Red Hat cloud platforms. You do the work in real Ceph labs under exam conditions. Red Hat's website now lists EX260 as retired.

Intended audience:

This course is for storage administrators, cloud and infrastructure engineers who deploy and manage scalable storage for private and hybrid clouds and want Red Hat Ceph skills on their CV.

Topics covered:

  • Ceph architecture: How Ceph organises and distributes data, the RADOS, MON, OSD and MGR components, and how clients reach it.
  • Deploy a cluster: Install and bootstrap a Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster and expand its capacity.
  • MON & OSD nodes: Configure the cluster, its monitors and its network layout, and add monitor and OSD nodes.
  • CRUSH maps: Manage data placement with the CRUSH and OSD maps.
  • Pools & placement groups: Create pools, set up client authorisation and tune placement groups.
  • Data protection: Configure replicated and erasure-coded pools.
  • Block, file & object storage: Provide RBD block, CephFS file and RGW object storage, including storage for Red Hat cloud platforms.
  • Monitoring & troubleshooting: Check cluster health, carry out maintenance, tune performance and troubleshoot.

Requirements:

You need RHCSA-level Linux administration skills. If you join online, you also need a stable internet connection and a laptop or desktop for the live Ceph labs, where the EX260 skills are practised.

Pre-requisites:

Red Hat asks for RHCSA certification or equivalent experience before CL260/EX260, and says some storage administration experience helps but is not required.

Career benefits:

Companies storing more data each year hire engineers with Ceph skills. In India, packages typically range from ₹6 LPA to ₹28+ LPA in roles such as Storage Engineer, Cloud Storage Administrator and Infrastructure Engineer. Red Hat's exam page says EX260 counts toward the RHCA.

  • Configure replicated pools and erasure-coded pools, including an erasure code profile.
  • Configure placement group auto-scaling.
  • Create a client with restricted read or write access to MONs, OSDs, pools and namespaces.
5. Creating and customizing storage maps

The CRUSH and OSD maps decide where data lands. You manage and adjust them so that placement meets the performance and redundancy needs of cloud applications.

  • Create a bucket hierarchy in a CRUSH map for use in an erasure profile or replicated rule.
  • Remap placement groups.
  • Manage the MON and OSD maps.
  • Monitor and change the OSD full ratios.

  • Provide object storage through the Amazon S3 and Swift APIs, with users, uploads and downloads.
  • Export S3 objects using NFS.
  • Configure the Ceph Object Gateway for in-transit encryption.
8. Providing file storage with CephFS

You configure Ceph to provide file storage for clients using the Ceph File System (CephFS).

  • Create a CephFS file system.
  • Mount it persistently on a client node.
  • Configure CephFS quotas.
  • Create a CephFS snapshot.
9. Managing a Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster

With a cluster in operation, you use the tools that check status, monitor services, and start or stop all or part of the cluster. You also do maintenance by replacing or repairing components.

  • Determine the general status of the cluster.
  • Start and stop all or part of the cluster properly.
  • Replace or repair MONs, OSDs and placement groups.
  • Troubleshoot OSD and MON problems.
10. Tuning and troubleshooting Red Hat Ceph Storage

You identify the key performance metrics of a Ceph cluster and use them to tune and troubleshoot its operations.

  • Tune key network parameters.
  • Control scrubbing and deep scrubbing.
  • Control recovery and rebalancing.
  • Troubleshoot client issues and enable debugging on the RADOS Gateway.
11. Managing Cloud Platforms with Red Hat Ceph Storage

This chapter connects Ceph to Red Hat cloud infrastructure, where it provides image, block, volume, object and shared file storage.

  • Integrate Red Hat Ceph Storage with Glance and Cinder on Red Hat OpenStack Platform.
  • Configure Glance to store images in the Ceph cluster.
  • Configure Cinder to use RBDs for block storage volumes.
