OpenShift Administration III
Enterprise Scaling (DO380)
Elevate your Kubernetes administration to the enterprise level. Learn to automate Day-2 operations, implement GitOps, manage advanced storage, and scale your Red Hat OpenShift clusters to meet massive production demands.
Enterprise Scaling
Automate the scaling of cluster nodes and application pods dynamically.
GitOps & CI/CD
Manage cluster configurations using OpenShift GitOps (ArgoCD) and Pipelines.
Advanced Security
Integrate enterprise identity providers (LDAP/OIDC) and sync group policies.
Day 2 Operations
Master cluster backup, restore procedures, and advanced storage solutions.
Why OpenShift Admin III (DO380)?
Managing a single, small-scale Kubernetes cluster is entirely different from orchestrating massive, multi-tenant enterprise environments. The DO380 course bridges this gap, focusing extensively on "Day 2" operational tasks.
You will move beyond manual administration to implement cluster automation using OpenShift GitOps (ArgoCD), configure enterprise-wide LDAP/OIDC authentication, and implement complex auto-scaling strategies to handle unpredictable workloads.
Prerequisite: Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration (EX280) or equivalent advanced Kubernetes knowledge is required.
