Maintaining scalable and secure OpenShift environments requires advanced cluster management skills. This course enables participants to plan, automate, and secure OpenShift operations at scale. They will work through practical labs to gain experience in configuration, scaling, and policy enforcement.
Learning Outcomes:
Plan and configure OpenShift clusters at scale
Automate OpenShift lifecycle operations
Implement RBAC and cluster security controls
Monitor and troubleshoot cluster health
Integrate external services with OpenShift
Key Topics:
Advanced OpenShift cluster architecture
Operator lifecycle management (OLM)
Role-based access control (RBAC)
Cluster monitoring, metrics, and logging
Backup, restore, and disaster recovery
Move from Kubernetes to OpenShift
Demonstrate that OpenShift is Kubernetes by deploying Kubernetes-native applications on OpenShift.
Introduce automation on OpenShift
Automate OpenShift administration tasks using bash scripts and Ansible playbooks.
