Course Overview
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.
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for Developers who wish to containerize software applications, Administrators who are new to container technology and container orchestration, or Architects who are considering using container technologies in software architectures.
Be able to use a Linux terminal session, issue operating system commands, and be familiar with shell scripting
Have experience with web application architectures and their corresponding technologies.
Being a Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA®) is recommended, but not required.
