What will I learn?

Red Hat OpenShift Administration II: Configuring a Production Cluster (DO280) class 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 such as CI/CD tooling, performance monitoring, and security scanners. This course focuses on configuring multi-tenancy and security features of OpenShift as well as managing OpenShift add-ons based on operators.

After attending this course, you should be able to configure, troubleshoot, and manage Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. This hands-on, lab-based course shows you how to verify the successful installation of a cluster, manage it on a day-to-day basis, and troubleshoot the deployment of containerized applications.

What is the Red Hat OpenShift?

Red Hat OpenShift is an enterprise-grade application platform built on Kubernetes, providing a consistent environment to build, deploy, and manage containerized applications across hybrid clouds (on-prem, public, edge). It simplifies container orchestration by adding developer tools, automated operations (CI/CD, monitoring, security), and integrated services, acting as a full platform-as-a-service (PaaS) on top of Kubernetes for faster, more flexible application delivery.
