Outcomes
Impact on the organization
This course supports IT operations teams that are in the prepare and expand stages of their Container Adoption Journey. The curriculum enables companies to innovate faster, scale based on customer demand, and proactively manage a growing number of OpenShift clusters that host cloud-native and cloud-compatible applications.
Impact on the individual
- This course builds upon the essential skills required to configure and manage an OpenShift 4.x cluster, teaching the enhanced skills needed to operate production environments at scale, including:
- Configure pools of cluster nodes with special configurations, and ensure that only the workloads that are intended for those pools are scheduled on those nodes.
- Configure enterprise authentication and group management with legacy LDAP and cloud-native OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity management systems.
- Deploy, manage, and query OpenShift logging and configure log forwarding to external log aggregators and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems.
- Automate cluster configuration and application deployment by using OpenShift GitOps.
- Troubleshoot application and cluster performance and availability issues by using OpenShift Monitoring.
- Configure and automate application-level backups using OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP).
