This hands-on course with lab exercises will help learners to install and manage an OCP (Red Hat OpenShift) cluster. Through out the course learners with understand the benefits and purpose of the platform, how to install the cluster, explore networking concepts, understand commands, manage OpenShift resources, configure storage, manage application deployments, and administer the cluster through logging and monitoring.
This course is based on OCP 4.2 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 8 (RHEL8)
Prerequisites:
Learners will need a working knowledge of Linux systems administration skills or the equivalent knowledge of skills found in the GL120 - Linux Fundamentals and GL250 - Enterprise Linux Systems Administration courses. Also learners will benefit from an understanding of containerization as found in the GL340 - Docker course.
Supported Distributions:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
