CS230 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration with Exam

Cel

Impact on the Organization

• Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) is a turnkey application platform that provides a managed Red Hat OpenShift service that runs natively on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enable organizations to increase operational efficiency, refocus on innovation, and quickly build, deploy, and scale applications. Red Hat OpenShift is the hybrid cloud platform that brings operational consistency to on-premise and different cloud environments.
• Organizations adopting ROSA are typically existing AWS customers with skills on using AWS services for a variety of business scenarios and need to integrate managed OpenShift clusters with their pre-existing AWS environments. These organizations are usually very security-conscious and require strong access controls and network security for all of their AWS services, including their ROSA clusters.

Impact on the Individual

• After completing CS229, students can create private ROSA clusters which are integrated with AWS infrastructure services typically employed by IT operations teams and ready to start onboarding applications and developers. Students can also integrate applications deployed on a private ROSA cluster in a way that cluster administrators and platform engineers retain control of credentials and roles required by applications to access AWS services, instead of exposing those credentials to application developers.

Grupa docelowa

• Primary: ROSA Administrators, Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, System Administrators and other infrastructure-related IT roles who are responsible for providing and supporting infrastructure for applications deployed on AWS
• Secondary: Enterprise Architects, Site Reliability Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and other application-related IT roles who are responsible for designing infrastructure for applications deployed on AWS

Course Outline

1. PrivateLink Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) Clusters
   • Create a PrivateLink ROSA cluster with STS and enable developers or administrators to access the API and router endpoints of the cluster.
2. Node and Pod Autoscaling
   • Configure a ROSA cluster and a workload to dynamically scale the number of cluster nodes and application pods according to load.
3. Integrate ROSA Clusters with Amazon Web Services
   • Configure ROSA clusters to forward logs to Amazon CloudWatch for long-term storage, aggregation, and analysis, and to authenticate OpenShift users by using Amazon Cognito.
4. Deploy Applications From External Registries
   • Deploy applications on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) from private container image repositories in external centralized container image registries.
5. Provide Amazon Storage Volumes for Applications
   • Configure Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS) or Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) volumes that meet the cost, performance, and sharing requirements of their applications.
6. Configure Application Access to AWS Services
   • Configure applications for access to shared AWS services by using Kubernetes service accounts, and provision dedicated AWS services by using Kubernetes custom resources.
7. OpenShift and AWS Application Observability
   • Configure ROSA clusters to forward application logs to Amazon CloudWatch and application metrics to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus.
8. Custom Domains for ROSA Applications
   • Expose applications to internet users with secure URLs by using human-readable DNS domains.

Uwagi

Duration:

• classroom – 5 days
• virtual training – 5 days + individual exam

Recommended next course or exam

• 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 Administration I: Operating a Production Cluster (DO180)
  • Red Hat OpenShift Administration II: Configuring a Production Cluster (DO280)
  • Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380)

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 Red Hat customer portal account or a free Red Hat Developer program membership
• Red Hat provides an AWS environment for hands-on labs. If this environment is not used, then students must provide their own cloud accounts with sufficient AWS quotas and also be able to enable new services from the marketplace
