DO280 Red Hat OpenShift Administration II: Configuring a Production Cluster

DO280 Red Hat OpenShift Administration II: Configuring a Production Cluster

Course Summary

Configure and manage OpenShift clusters to maintain security and reliability across multiple applications and development teams.

Red Hat OpenShift Administration II: Configuring a Production Cluster (DO280) prepares OpenShift Cluster Administrators to perform day-to-day administration tasks on clusters hosting 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 CI/CD tools, performance monitoring, and security scanners. The course focuses on configuring multi-tenancy and security features in OpenShift and managing OpenShift extensions based on operators.

The skills you learn in this course can be applied with all versions of OpenShift, including Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA), Azure Red Hat OpenShift, and OpenShift Container Platform.

This course is based on OpenShift Container Platform 4.18.

Course Objective

Impact on the organization

This course is intended to develop the skills needed to manage Red Hat OpenShift clusters and support containerized applications that are highly available, resilient, and scalable. Red Hat OpenShift is an enterprise-hardened application platform based on Kubernetes that provides a common set of APIs and abstractions that enable application portability between cloud providers and traditional data centers. Red Hat OpenShift provides uniformity and portability for operational processes in these environments and can also be deployed as a managed service. A Red Hat SRE team shares responsibility for managing Red Hat OpenShift clusters with a customer’s IT operations team when using a managed OpenShift offering such as Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) or Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO).

Impact on the individual

After attending this course, participants will be able to perform the tasks that OpenShift cluster administrators are expected to perform in their day-to-day work for on-premises, cloud-based, and vendor-managed clusters, including enabling extension operators. Participants will also be able to manage permissions for different roles and configure applications that require privileged access to cluster and host resources.
