Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Deployments in the Enterprise [DO380]

OVERVIEW

Plan, implement, and manage OpenShift clusters at scale

Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Kubernetes Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380) expands upon the skills required to plan, implement, and manage OpenShift® clusters in the enterprise. You will learn how to configure and manage OpenShift clusters at scale to address increasing and special demands from applications and ensure reliability, performance, and availability.

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.

This course is based on Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform 4.14.

Note: This course is offered as a five day virtual class or self-paced.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
