Introduction to Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS Virtual Training VT

Course Description

Learn how to deploy, access, and perform day-to-day operations to a ROSA cluster.

This course teaches IT operations staff how to deploy a public Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) cluster for experimentation and to provision projects for development teams to work within. IT operations staff will learn how to perform day-to-day operation of ROSA clusters and support application teams which use that cluster. IT operations staff can then apply the same skills and similar procedures to private ROSA clusters of their organizations.

Recommended training

• All students must be knowledgeable about Amazon Web Services (AWS), including operating and managing AWS compute, storage, and network resources
• For students who are new to Red Hat OpenShift, it is recommended that you learn the fundamental skills of managing Red Hat OpenShift clusters from the following courses:
  • Red Hat OpenShift I: Containers & Kubernetes (DO180)
  • Red Hat OpenShift Administration II: Operating a Production Kubernetes Cluster (DO280)
• Students with previous experience of managing Kubernetes clusters are advised to take DO180 and DO280 or at least to acquire foundational skills in operating Red Hat OpenShift clusters by using the following free resources from Red Hat:
  • Red Hat Developer Sandbox for OpenShift
  • OpenShift and Kubernetes learning from Red Hat Developer
  • Containers, Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift Technical Overview (DO080)

Technology considerations

• Internet access is required to access AWS services by using the AWS console and the AWS CLI. It is also required to access the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console and associated Red Hat cloud services
• Students must possess an active AWS account with permission to activate services from the AWS Marketplace and an associated payment method for the AWS resources that ROSA clusters consume
• Students must possess an active Red Hat customer portal account or a free Red Hat Developer program membership
