Red Hat OpenShift 4.x Architecture, Operations and Advanced Administration

This training is aimed at Red Hat Linux System Administrators with or without Docker and Kubernetes experience who want to learn OpenShift, the market-leading PaaS (Platform as a Service) solution. During the course we will launch a Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform deployment in a simple way through an eminently practical workshop created from our experience as trainers and consultants for Cloud, Linux and DevOps.

System administrators, micro-service-based application developers, architects, devops teams, and pre-sales engineers with extensive UNIX or Linux experience with or without experience in dockers and kubernetes. For new administrators, we recommend first taking our Linux System Administration course.

Attendance on Linux System Administration or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 RHCSA Fast Track or equivalent previous experience with the Red Hat Linux system is required.

Students will gain the skills necessary for Architecture, Operations, and Administration of Red Hat OpenShift.
