Students should be able to demonstrate the following skills:

• Utilize the new features of EAP 7.
• Migrate an EAP 6 server to EAP 7.
• Fine tune and manage JGroups and Infinispan in a cluster.
• Roll back application deployments.
• Write scripts for common EAP management tasks.
• Monitor EAP using JConsole and other management tools.
• Create a JMS bridge.
• Create a FORM based authentication login module.
• Implement Single-Sign On with Red Hat Identity management.

Red Hat JBoss Application Administration II (AD348) prepares students to provision and manage Red Hat® JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) in large-scale production environments. Intended for experienced administrators, this course provides a deeper understanding of how to work with JBoss EAP by taking a closer look at installation, clustering, deployments, scripting, management, messaging, and security with a view towards building on the skills established in Red Hat JBoss Application Administration I (AD248).

While focusing on automating tasks using the new command line interface (CLI) features of EAP 7, this course takes a deeper dive into provisioning JBoss EAP instances, live patching, clustering, and domain management through CLI scripting, custom coding, JBoss migrations, and a deeper dive into the security systems of JBoss EAP, including the management interface, securing resources such as JMS queues, implementing SSL for the web interface, RBAC, and network considerations. JBoss Application Administration II (AD348) also covers management, clustering, and tuning of of the ActiveMQ Artemis.

This course is based on JBoss EAP 7.
