Course Overview

Top

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

Red Hat OpenShift Administration I: Operating a Production Cluster (DO180) prepares OpenShift cluster administrators to manage Kubernetes workloads and to collaborate with developers, DevOps engineers, system administrators, and SREs to ensure the availability of application workloads. 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.

The skills that you learn in this course apply to all versions of OpenShift, including Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA), Azure Red Hat OpenShift, and OpenShift Container Platform.

This course is based on Red Hat OpenShift 4.14.

Following course completion, hands-on lab access will remain available for up to 45 days for any live course that includes a virtual environment.

Note: This course is offered as a four day in classroom, a five day virtual class, or self-paced.
