Overview

Configure, manage, and troubleshoot OpenShift clusters and containerized applications
Red Hat OpenShift Administration II: Operating a Production Kubernetes Cluster (DO280) prepares OpenShift Cluster Administrators to perform daily administration tasks on clusters that host applications provided by internal teams and external vendors, enable self-service for cluster users with different roles, and deploy applications that require special permissions such as such as CI/CD tooling, performance monitoring, and security scanners.
DO280 focuses on configuring multi-tenancy and security features of OpenShift. DO280 also teaches how to manage OpenShift add-ons based on operators.
This course is based on OpenShift Container Platform 4.12.

Audience

This course is designed for system administrators, system architects, and developers who want to install and configure Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

  • System and Software Architects interested in understanding features and functionality of an OpenShift cluster.
  • System Administrators interested in the initial establishment of a cluster.
  • Cluster Operators interested in the ongoing maintenance of a cluster.
  • Site Reliability Engineers interested in the ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting of a cluster. 

Skills Gained

As a result of attending this course, students will be able to perform the set of tasks that OpenShift cluster administrators are expected to perform in their daily jobs for on-premises, cloud-based, and vendor-managed clusters, including enabling add-on operators. Students will also be able manage multi-tenant permissions for different roles and configure applications that require privileged access to cluster and host resources.

Impact on the organization

This course is intended to develop the skills needed to manage Red Hat OpenShift clusters that are secure and multi-tenant, enabling applications that are scalable, resilient, and highly available.

Red Hat OpenShift is an enterprise-hardened application platform based on Kubernetes. It enables DevOps practices such as Continuous Delivery as well as portability of applications and operational processes across cloud providers and traditional data centers.

Kubernetes provides a common set of APIs and abstractions that enable application portability across cloud providers and traditional data centers. Red Hat OpenShift adds portability of operational processes across these deployment targets.

Red Hat OpenShift clusters can also be deployed as managed services where an external SRE team shares the responsibility of managing clusters and applications with a customer’s IT operations team.

Prerequisites

  • Red Hat System Administration I (RH124), or equivalent skills managing Linux systems and servers from the Bash shell.
  • Red Hat OpenShift I: Containers & Kubernetes (DO180 v4.12), or equivalent skills deploying and managing Kubernetes applications using the OpenShift web console and command-line interfaces.

Target Audience

  • System Administrators and Platform Operators interested in the ongoing management of OpenShift clusters, applications, users, and add-ons.
  • Site Reliability Engineers interested in the ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting of Kubernetes clusters.
  • System and Software Architects interested in understanding the security of an OpenShift cluster.

Outline

The OpenShift Web Console

Manage a Red Hat OpenShift cluster with the web console.

Authentication and Authorization

Configure authentication with the HTPasswd identity provider and assign roles to users and groups.

Network Security

Protect network traffic between applications inside and outside the cluster.

Enable Developer Self-Service

Configure clusters for safe self-service by developers from multiple teams and disallow self-service if projects have to be provisioned by the operations staff.

Manage Kubernetes Operators

Install and update Operators that are managed by the Operator Lifecycle Manager and by the Cluster Version Operator.

Application Security

Run applications that require elevated or special privileges from the host Operating System or Kubernetes.

OpenShift Updates

Update an OpenShift cluster and minimize disruption to deployed applications.

Certification

In order to attend any Red Hat course or exam, you will need to provide us with your unique Red Hat Network ID. Bookings will not be confirmed without this. If you do not have a Red Hat Network ID you can create one by clicking here. If you attend a virtual event, Red Hat will email you directly a Connectivity Test link one week before the course starts to ensure you have the correct access for the training.

Thinking about Onsite?

If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.

Submit an enquiry from any page on this site and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
