Red Hat OpenShift Administration I: Operating a Production Cluster

• Primary: Platform Engineers, System Administrators, Cloud Administrators, and other infrastructure-related IT roles who are responsible for tier-1 support of infrastructure for applications.who are interested in managing OpenShift clusters and containerized applications.
• Secondary: Enterprise Architects, Site Reliability Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and other application-related IT roles who are responsible for designing infrastructure for applications.
• Developers and Site Reliability Engineers that are new to container technology should enroll in Red Hat OpenShift Development I: Introduction to Containers with Podman (DO188)

After this course participants should be able to:

• Manage OpenShift clusters from the command-line interface and from the web console
• Deploy applications on OpenShift from container images, templates, and Kubernetes manifests
• Troubleshoot network connectivity between applications inside and outside an OpenShift cluster
• Connect Kubernetes workloads to storage for application data
• Configure Kubernetes workloads for high availability and reliability
• Manage updates to container images, settings, and Kubernetes manifests of an application

Participants 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. They will also be able to identify and escalate application and infrastructure issues to development teams, operation teams, and IT vendors.

Introduction to Kubernetes and OpenShift

Identify the main Kubernetes cluster services and OpenShift platform services, and monitor them from the web console.

Kubernetes and OpenShift Command-Line Interfaces and APIs

Access an OpenShift cluster from the command line, and query its Kubernetes API resources to assess the health of a cluster.

Run Applications as Containers and Pods
