About this course

Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Kubernetes Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380) expands upon the skills required to plan, implement, and manage OpenShift® clusters in the enterprise. You will learn how to configure and manage OpenShift clusters at scale to address increasing and special demands from applications and ensure reliability, performance, and availability.

This course is based on Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform 4.14.

Audience profile
  • Primary: Platform Engineers, System Administrators, Cloud Administrators, and other infrastructure-related IT roles who are responsible for implementing and managing infrastructure for applications.
  • Secondary: Enterprise Architects, Site Reliability Engineers (SRE), DevOps Engineers, and other application-related IT roles who are responsible for designing infrastructure for applications.
At course completion
  • This course builds upon the essential skills required to configure and manage an OpenShift 4.x cluster, teaching the enhanced skills needed to operate production environments at scale, including:
  • Configure pools of cluster nodes with special configurations, and ensure that only the workloads that are intended for those pools are scheduled on those nodes.
  • Configure enterprise authentication and group management with legacy LDAP and cloud-native OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity management systems.
  • Deploy, manage, and query OpenShift logging and configure log forwarding to external log aggregators and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems.
  • Automate cluster configuration and application deployment by using OpenShift GitOps.
  • Troubleshoot application and cluster performance and availability issues by using OpenShift Monitoring.
  • Configure and automate application-level backups using OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP).
