Introduction to building and managing containers for deployment on a Kubernetes and OpenShift 4 cluster

Red Hat OpenShift I: Containers & Kubernetes (DO180) introduces students to building and managing containers for deployment on a Kubernetes cluster. This course helps students build core knowledge and skills in managing containers through hands-on experience with containers, Kubernetes, and the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform needed for multiple roles, including developers, administrators and site reliability engineers.

This course is based on Red Hat OpenShift® Container Platform 4.10.

 D0180 – Red Hat OpenShift I: Containers & Kubernetes is able to perform the following tasks:

• Container and OpenShift architecture
• Creating containerized services
• Managing containers and container images
• Creating custom container images
• Deploying containerized applications on OpenShift
• Deploying multi-container applications

D0180 – Red Hat OpenShift I: Containers & Kubernetes  certification is designed for:

• Developers who want to containerize software applications.
• Administrators who are new to container technology and container orchestration.
• Architects who are looking to use container technologies in software architectures.
• Site Reliability Engineers who want to support their technology infrastructure using Kubernetes and OpenShift.

In preparation to earn the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA), Red Hat recommends the following training modules:

• Red Hat System Administration I (RH124)
• Red Hat System Administration II (RH134)

Certification Exam : Test your skills and knowledge

 EX200 – Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam

• The performance-based Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam (EX200) tests your knowledge and skill in areas of system administration common across a wide range of environments and deployment scenarios. You must be an RHCSA to earn a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE®) certification.

Outline for this course
