DO180 – Openshift Administration I: Operating a Production Cluster
Deploy, manage, and troubleshoot containerized applications running as Kubernetes workloads in OpenShift clusters.
Course description
Deploy, manage, and troubleshoot containerized applications running as Kubernetes workloads in OpenShift clusters.
Red Hat OpenShift Administration I: Managing Containers and Kubernetes (DO180) prepares OpenShift cluster administrators to manage Kubernetes workloads and to collaborate with developers, DevOps engineers, system administrators, and SREs to ensure the availability of application workloads. This course focuses on managing typical end-user applications that are often accessible from a web or mobile UI and that represent most cloud-native and containerized workloads. Managing applications also includes deploying and updating their dependencies, such as databases, messaging, and authentication systems. The skills that you learn in this course apply to all versions of OpenShift, including Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA), Azure Red Hat OpenShift, and OpenShift Container Platform.
**As per the new Updated Versions from DO180 and DO280 both courses no longer provide an introduction to Linux containers & Kubernetes

Outline
Identify the main Kubernetes cluster services and OpenShift platform services, and monitor them from the web console.
Access an OpenShift cluster from the command line, and query its Kubernetes API resources to assess the health of a cluster.
Run and troubleshoot containerized applications as unmanaged Kubernetes pods.
Deploy applications and expose them to network access from inside and outside a Kubernetes cluster.
Externalize application configurations in Kubernetes resources, and provision storage volumes for persistent data files.
Configure applications to work with Kubernetes for high availability and resilience.
Manage reproducible application updates and rollbacks of code and configurations.
