• How to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications within an OpenShift environment.
• How OpenShift works under the hood, how it relates to Kubernetes, and how to use its key cloud-native features.
• How to configure OpenShift resources, manage application configuration data, and set up persistent storage for workloads.
• How to securely expose and control access to applications running inside the OpenShift cluster.
• How to work with advanced OpenShift capabilities, including GitOps workflows, Red Hat OpenShift on Amazon (ROSA), and OpenShift Virtualization.

TOPICS

• Understanding and Using OpenShift
• Running Applications in OpenShift
• Scalable Applications
• Resources and Configuration
• Storage
• Accessing Applications
• GitOps and Application Management (incl. ROSA & Virtualization)

To get the most out of this OpenShift course, students should:

• Have intermediate Linux skills and be comfortable with the command line (working with files, processes, basic networking).
• Understand fundamental container and Docker concepts (images, containers, registries) and have a basic grasp of Kubernetes ideas like pods, deployments, and services.
• Be familiar with cloud and web application basics (HTTP, simple app architectures) and come ready to experiment in a lab environment -deploying sample apps, breaking things, and troubleshooting as they follow along with the videos.

• Developers and DevOps engineers who build, deploy, and maintain containerized applications and want to run them reliably on OpenShift.
• System administrators and platform engineers who are responsible for managing Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters in production.
• Cloud engineers and architects who design or operate cloud-native platforms and want to understand where and how OpenShift fits, including ROSA on AWS.
• Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) who need to automate deployments, scaling, and recovery of applications on OpenShift.
• IT professionals with basic container/Kubernetes knowledge who want a structured, hands-on introduction to OpenShift.
• Teams moving from traditional deployments to GitOps workflows and looking to standardize on OpenShift for CI/CD and application lifecycle management.
