Chapter 8. Performing Bare Metal certification


The Red Hat OpenStack Platform Bare Metal certification validates that your system can be orchestrated as part of an OpenStack environment.

The Red Hat OpenStack Platform Bare Metal certification may have already been created for you as part of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux System certification.

If it was not automatically created for you, or if you need to apply for the certification at a later date, perform the following steps:

Prerequisites

  • Your server must have already earned the following certifications:

    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux System
    • Red Hat OpenStack Platform Compute Node
