Course Overview
This course is for system administrators responsible for deploying and managing SUSE Storage across various Kubernetes cluster distributions with Rancher Prime. SUSE Storage was formerly called Longhorn and is referred to as Longhorn throughout the course. The course kicks off with an introduction to Longhorn and its architecture, followed by practical lessons on accessing Longhorn through a simple web browser. Students will gain hands-on experience in deploying, managing, and upgrading Longhorn on their Kubernetes clusters. The course delves into volume management, creating volume replicas from persistent volumes using storage classes. It emphasizes the establishment of data replication for enhanced fault tolerance and data redundancy within the existing Kubernetes cluster.
