Master Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform administration in this hands-on course that prepares engineers to deploy, secure, and operate production clusters. Students gain practical experience with the oc CLI, the OpenShift web console, and the Kubernetes primitives that power the platform, building the operational confidence needed to manage OpenShift environments at scale.
Coverage spans the full OpenShift administration stack. Infrastructure topics include cluster installation on cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes architecture, and API authentication with RBAC and Security Context Constraints. Application lifecycle management addresses Deployments, ReplicaSets, container health probes, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and pod scheduling with affinity rules, taints, and tolerations. Operations topics cover networking with Services, Ingress, and Routes, persistent storage provisioning with PVs, PVCs, dynamic StorageClasses, and OpenShift Data Foundation (Rook-Ceph), resource quotas, TLS certificate management, and cluster observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and EFK-based centralized logging.
Every chapter pairs instructor-led content with guided lab exercises on live OpenShift clusters. Students deploy real microservice applications, configure identity providers, build RBAC policies, provision storage, tune scheduling constraints, and set up monitoring, gaining direct experience with the workflows and tools used in production OpenShift operations.
