Overview
The OpenShift Installation Lab course equips participants with the essential skills to install OpenShift clusters in various settings, from proof of concept to production. Attendees will learn to identify necessary customizations based on underlying infrastructures, whether cloud-based, virtual, or physical.
Objectives
By the end of this course, leaner will be able to:
- Validate infrastructure prerequisites for an OpenShift cluster.
- Execute the OpenShift installer with custom configurations.
- Monitor and describe each stage of the OpenShift installation process.
- Gather troubleshooting information during installations or after failures.
- Complete the configuration of cluster services in newly installed clusters.
Prerequisites
- Completion of the “OpenShift Administration II: Operating a Production Kubernetes Cluster” course or equivalent knowledge.
- Achieving the “Certified System Administrator” certification or equivalent experience in system administration is strongly recommended.
