DO700 Container Adoption Boot Camp

DO700 Container Adoption Boot Camp

Course description

Supporting the adoption of container technology and container-native applications

The Container Adoption Boot Camp for Administrators (DO700) immerses you in intensive, hands-on management of container-native applications deployed on Red Hat's implementation of Kubernetes, Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform, and how to configure robust clusters that provide high availability (HA) and the ability to run large numbers of applications. As part of enrollment, you will receive one year of Red Hat Learning Subscription Standard, which gives you unlimited access to all of our courses online, plus up to five certification exams and two retakes.

This collection of courses is based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.6 and 3.9.

Impact on the organization

  • This bootcamp is intended to provide container-novice administrators with the foundational and advanced skills needed to install, configure, and manage the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to deploy containerized applications that are highly available, resilient, and scalable. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform enables rapid application development and deployment, as well as portability of an application across environments. The platform also offers simplified application scaling, administration, and maintenance of adapted or cloud-native applications.

Impact on the individual

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to install, configure, and manage a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster and deploy applications on it.

You should be able to demonstrate these skills:

  • Install OpenShift Container Platform to create a simple cluster.
  • Configure and manage OpenShift masters and nodes.
  • Secure OpenShift with a simple internal authentication mechanism.
  • Control access to resources on OpenShift.
  • Deploy applications on OpenShift using Source-to-Image (S2I).
  • Configure and manage OpenShift pods, services, routes, secrets, and other resources.
  • Design and install a highly available cluster.
  • Provision persistent storage using dynamic allocation.
  • Install the GlusterFS Container Native Storage solution on an OpenShift cluster.
  • Enable log aggregation across the cluster.
  • Perform diagnostics on the cluster.
  • Backup and restore critical data for the cluster.
  • Manage OpenShift and operating system resources to keep the cluster running efficiently.
  • Configure the LDAP security provider.
  • Describe and install the Open vSwitch multitenant software-defined networking provider.
