OpenShift is a containerized application platform that allows enterprises to manage container deployments and scale their applications using Kubernetes. OpenShift provides predefined application environments and builds upon Kubernetes to provide support for DevOps principles such as reduced time to market, infrastructure-as-code, continuous integration (CI), and continuous delivery (CD).

Red Hat OpenShift Administration I (DO280) teaches you how to install and administer the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. This hands-on, lab-based course shows you how to install, configure, and manage OpenShift clusters and deploy sample applications to further understand how developers will use the platform.

This course is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 and Openshift Container Platform 3.9. 

• Install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster
• Configure and manage masters and nodes
• Secure OpenShift
• Control access to resources on OpenShift
• Monitor and collect metrics on OpenShift
• Deploy applications on OpenShift Platform Container using Source-to-Image (S2I)
• Manage storage on OpenShift

• Become a Red Hat Certified System Administrator, or demonstrate equivalent Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administration experience
• Complete Introduction to Containers, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift (DO180), or demonstrate equivalent experience with containers, Kubernetes, and OpenShift basics

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to install, configure, and manage a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster and deploy applications on it.

You should be able to demonstrate these skills:

• Install OpenShift Container Platform to create a simple cluster.
• Configure and manage OpenShift masters and nodes.
• Secure OpenShift with a simple internal authentication mechanism.
• Control access to resources on OpenShift.
• Deploy applications on OpenShift using Source-to-Image (S2I).
• Configure and manage OpenShift pods, services, routes, secrets, and other resources.
