DO180 - Red Hat OpenShift Administration I: Operating a Production Cluster

Course description

Deploy, manage, and troubleshoot containerized applications running as Kubernetes workloads in OpenShift clusters.

Containers have quickly become the de facto solution for agile development and application deployment. Administrators and developers are seeking additional ways to improve application time-to-market and improve maintainability. This course provides the gateway to organizational and digital transformation by providing a comprehensive look at the potential of DevOps using a container-based architecture.

As a result of attending this course, learners will understand the architecture of Red Hat OpenShift clusters and of Kubernetes applications, and will be able to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot applications on OpenShift. Learners will also be able to identify and escalate application and infrastructure issues to development teams, operation teams, and IT vendors.

Course content summary

When 'cloud-native' is not an after-thought but the primary attribute when a modern software application is being developed, knowing how software containers work is always a required skill. Not just for anyone who's developing an app, but even for someone who's in QA/testing and deploying those applications.

This course focuses on managing typical end-user applications that are often accessible from a web or mobile UI and that represent most cloud-native and containerized workloads. Managing applications also includes deploying and updating their dependencies, such as databases, messaging, and authentication systems.
