Course Description
Master Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform administration in this hands-on course that prepares engineers to deploy, secure, and operate production clusters. Students gain practical experience with the oc CLI, the OpenShift web console, and the Kubernetes primitives that power the platform, building the operational confidence needed to manage OpenShift environments at scale. Coverage spans cluster installation, RBAC and Security Context Constraints, application lifecycle management, networking with Services, Ingress, and Routes, persistent storage provisioning, pod scheduling, and cluster observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and EFK-based logging. Like all Guru Labs courses, the material is designed to provide extensive hands-on experience.
