Impact on the organization

Microsoft Azure Red Hat® OpenShift® is a turnkey application platform that provides highly available, fully managed Red Hat OpenShift clusters on demand. Red Hat and Microsoft jointly engineer, manage, and support the platform, allowing 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-premises and cloud environments. Organizations using Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift follow the same operational processes used by a self-managed Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on their on premises data centers and deploy the same applications on any OpenShift cluster, be it a managed cluster or a self-managed one.

Impact on the Individual

After completing DO121, students can create Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift clusters. Most day-to-day application and cluster administration tasks are performed the same way across Red Hat OpenShift products, so IT professionals apply the same skills in managing Red Hat OpenShift clusters to both cloud and on-premise environments.

Grupa docelowa

• IT Operations professionals such as System Administrators, Platform Operators, Cloud Engineers.
• Application and development infrastructure professionals such as Site Reliability Engineers and DevOps Engineers.

Wymagania

Prerequisites for this course:

• All students must be knowledgeable of Microsoft Azure, including operating and managing Azure compute, storage, and network resources.
• For students that are new to Red Hat OpenShift it is recommended that you learn the fundamental skills of managing Red Hat OpenShift clusters, before taking DO121, 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 managing Kubernetes clusters are advised to take DO180 and DO280 before taking DO121 or at least acquire foundational skills 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)

Recommended next exam or course

Students are recommended to take the following courses before enrolling on DO121:

• Red Hat OpenShift I: Containers & Kubernetes (DO180)
• Red Hat OpenShift II: Operating a Production Kubernetes Cluster (DO280)

After completing DO121, students can proceed to additional operations and development training on Red Hat OpenShift, such as:

• Red Hat OpenShift Development II: Containerizing Applications (DO288)
• Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Kubernetes Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380)
