Red Hat OpenShift Administration I: Containers & Kubernetes

Course introduction

Introduce and review the course.

Get started with container technology

Describe how software can run in containers orchestrated by Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

Create containerized services

Provision a server using container technology.

Manage containers

Manipulate pre-built container images to create and manage containerized services.

Manage container images

Govern the life cycle of a container image from creation to deletion.

Create custom container images

Design and code a Docker file to build a custom container image.

Deploy containerized applications on Red Hat OpenShift

Deploy single container applications on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

Deploy multi-container applications

Deploy applications that are containerized using multiple container images.

Troubleshoot containerized applications

Troubleshoot a containerized application deployed on Red Hat OpenShift.

Comprehensive review of Introduction to Container, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift

Demonstrate how to containerize a software application, test it with Docker, and deploy it on a Red Hat OpenShift cluster.

• Be able to use a Linux terminal session and issue operating system commands
• Be a Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) , or demonstrate equivalent experience
• Have experience with web application architectures and their corresponding technologies

Impact on the organization

This course is intended to develop the skills needed to create microservices architectures using OpenShift. Microservices are a new alternative to designing modern applications, focused on working with less hardware resources and, therefore, reducing infrastructure costs. OpenShift is a cloud solution that leverages the usage of microservices running on containers.

While Red Hat has created this course in a way intended to benefit our customers, each company and infrastructure is unique, and actual benefits may vary.

Impact on the individual

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to perform these basic tasks in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform:

• Create containerized services using Docker.
• Manage containers and container images.
• Create custom container images.
• Deploy containerized applications on OpenShift.
• Deploy multi-container applications.

As a result of attending this class, students should be able to containerize simple software applications and services; deploy them with Docker, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift; test the containerized version; and troubleshoot issues with deployment.

One of the key tenets of the DevOps movement is continuous integration and continuous deployment. Containers have become a key technology for the configuration and deployment of applications and microservices. Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that provides foundational services in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
