Course Description

Course Overview

Red Hat OpenShift I: Containers & Kubernetes (DO180) is an introductory course that provides hands-on training for developers and administrators to understand and work with container technology and the Kubernetes container orchestration platform. The course focuses on building containerized applications and deploying them on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. Participants will learn essential container concepts, how to containerize applications, manage container images, and deploy them on Kubernetes clusters using OpenShift.

Prerequisites

• Basic familiarity with Linux command-line interface (CLI) and container technology is beneficial but not required.
• Prior experience with Kubernetes or OpenShift is not necessary.

Methodology

The DO180 course follows a blended learning approach, combining theoretical lectures, practical demonstrations, and hands-on lab exercises. Instructors will provide comprehensive explanations of container concepts, Kubernetes, and OpenShift. The majority of the course will focus on hands-on lab exercises, allowing participants to gain real-world experience building, deploying, and managing containerized applications on OpenShift.
