Containers, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift Administration I

• Developers who want to containerize software applications
• Administrators who are new to container technology and container orchestration
• Architects who are considering using container technologies in software architectures
• System administrators who want to learn more about OpenShift
• System architects who want to learn more about OpenShift
• Architects and developers who want to install and configure OpenShift

• Have ability to use a Linux terminal session and issue operating system commands
• Become a Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) or demonstrate equivalent knowledge
• Have experience with web application architectures and their corresponding technologies

Impact on the organization

This course is intended to expose you to container and container orchestration technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift. You are taught how to containerize software applications and services. Containers are rapidly becoming a deployment technology of choice in organizations adopting DevOps principles and practices. Moving applications and services from traditional deployment platforms to container deployments make the applications deployable on a single clustered cloud architecture instead of many disparate sets of hardware configurations. Upon completion, you will have developed the skills needed to install, configure, and manage the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to deploy containerized applications that are highly available, resilient, and scalable. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform enables rapid application development and deployment, as well as portability of an application across environments. The platform also offers simplified application scaling, administration, and maintenance of adapted or cloud-native applications.

Red Hat has created this course in a way intended to benefit our customers, but each company and infrastructure is unique, and actual results or benefits may vary.

Impact on the individual

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to install, configure, and manage a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster and deploy applications on it.

You should be able to demonstrate these skills:

• Install OpenShift Container Platform to create a simple cluster.
• Configure and manage OpenShift masters and nodes.
• Secure OpenShift with a simple internal authentication mechanism.
• Control access to resources on OpenShift.
• Deploy applications on OpenShift using source-to-image (S2I).
• Configure and manage OpenShift pods, services, routes, secrets, and other resources.
