Course description

Enhance container management capabilities with automation, governance, and security across clusters.

Multicluster Management with Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus teaches the skills required to maintain a diverse portfolio of applications, running across a fleet of OpenShift clusters. Applications follow placement rules determined by capacity and criticality; cluster configurations comply with governance and security policies; all automated according to DevOps principles.

This course is based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management 2.4.

Course content summary

• Deploy Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) in a hub cluster
• Add a managed cluster to RHACM (configure a cluster to be managed by RHACM)
• Define and apply cluster configuration policies
• Detect and correct non-conformance to cluster configuration policies
• Visualize and compare cluster settings between different clusters
• Define and apply application placement policies
• Identify and compare application resources from multiple clusters
• Deploy Red Hat Quay in the hub cluster
• Deploy Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) in the hub cluster
• Integrate Red Hat Quay and RHACS with RHACM.
