Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Kubernetes Deployments in the Enterprise

Plan, implement, and manage OpenShift clusters at scale Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380) expands upon the skills required to plan, implement, and manage OpenShift® clusters in the enterprise. You will learn how to configure and manage OpenShift clusters at scale to address increasing and special demands from applications and ensure reliability, performance, and availability. This course is based on Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform 4.14.

Who Can Benefit

• Cluster engineers (systems administrators, cloud administrators, or cloud engineers) focused on planning, designing, and implementing production-grade OpenShift clusters. Cluster engineers require automation skills to scale their manpower to provision and manage an increasing population of clusters, applications, and users, at the same time ensuring these clusters remain in compliance with corporate standards.
• Site reliability engineers (SREs) focused on keeping OpenShift clusters and applications running without disruption. SREs are interested in troubleshooting infrastructure and application issues with OpenShift clusters and require automation skills to reduce the time to identify, diagnose, and remediate issues.

Skills Gained

• Manage OpenShift cluster operators and add operators.
• Implement GitOps workflows using OpenShift GitOps operator.
• Integrate OpenShift with enterprise authentication.
• Query and visualize cluster-wide logs, metrics, and alerts.
• Backup and restore application settings and data with OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP).
• Manage machine pools and machine configurations.

Prerequisites

• Complete Red Hat OpenShift Administration I (DO280) and become a Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration.
• Complete Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) and become a Red Hat Certified System Administrator.
• Recommended, but not required: become a Red Hat Certified Systems Engineer or a Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Automation. Basic knowledge about writing and running Ansible playbooks is required.
