DO180 – Red Hat OpenShift Administration I: Operating a Production Cluster

Overview

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 perform day-to-day management of Kubernetes workloads and 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 represent the majority of cloud native and containerized workloads. Management of applications also includes deployment and updating of their dependencies such as databases, messaging, and authentication systems.
