Red Hat OpenShift Administration I with exam

Course description

Create, configure, manage, and troubleshoot OpenShift clusters

Red Hat OpenShift Administration I with exam (DO281) teaches you how to install and administer the Red Hat^® OpenShift^® Container Platform. This hands-on, lab-based bundle shows you how to install, configure, and manage OpenShift clusters and deploy sample applications to further understand how developers will use the platform.

This course is based on Red Hat^® Enterprise Linux^® 7.5 and Openshift Container Platform 3.9. The Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration exam is included.

OpenShift is a containerized application platform that allows enterprises to manage container deployments and scale their applications using Kubernetes. OpenShift provides predefined application environments and builds upon Kubernetes to provide support for DevOps principles such as reduced time to market, infrastructure-as-code, continuous integration (CI), and continuous delivery (CD).
