Your result

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.

You should be able to demonstrate these skills:

• Manage multi-tenant permissions for different roles
• Configure applications that require privileged access to cluster and host resources

Target audience

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

• 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

Approach

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 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.
