OpenShift 4 for Administrators Training Course
The OpenShift Container Platform (formerly OpenShift Enterprise) v. 4 is a suite of software developed by Red Hat for deploying containers and Kubernetes in the enterprise environment. New features in version 4 include Operators, machine sets, and CoreOS, which enable clusters to self-manage certain functions that were previously managed by administrators.
This instructor-led, live training (available both online and onsite) is designed to equip participants with the skills necessary to install, configure, and manage OpenShift Container Platform v. 4 for government applications.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand OCI (Open Containers Initiative) and its implications for using container engines such as Docker in OpenShift.
- Comprehend the relationships between different versions of OpenShift (OKP, OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat OpenShift, etc.).
- Create, configure, manage, and troubleshoot an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
- Leverage OpenShift Container Platform's self-manage capabilities to enhance platform stability and consistency.
- Secure OpenShift Container Platform for government use.
- Monitor and gather metrics from the platform.
- Manage storage solutions within OpenShift.
- Upgrade an OpenShift Container Platform 3 cluster to version 4.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lectures and discussions.
- Extensive exercises and practical activities.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
