OpenShift Container Deployment

In the course OpenShift Container Deployment from SpiralTrain, participants learn how to deploy, manage, and scale applications in an OpenShift environment.

OpenShift Fundamentals

The course starts with an overview of OpenShift, differences with Kubernetes, and how to use the web console and oc CLI tool. Topics include projects, RBAC, templates, operators, and services.

Containers and Images

This module covers container technology, building images with Docker and Podman, using image registries, Source-to-Image (S2I) workflows, and security best practices for containers.

OpenShift Architecture

Participants learn about OpenShift's internal architecture, including master and worker nodes, control plane components, networking, storage solutions, multi-tenancy, monitoring, and logging.

Deploying Applications

This module teaches deploying applications with DeploymentConfigs, implementing rolling updates, blue-green deployments, resource management, health checks, ConfigMaps, and Secrets.

Configuring CI/CD Pipelines

Participants learn how to set up CI/CD pipelines using OpenShift Pipelines and Tekton, integrate with Git repositories, manage triggers, implement pipeline security, and follow CI/CD best practices.

Managing and Scaling Applications

The focus is on scaling applications manually and automatically, using autoscalers, ensuring application resilience, setting resource limits, monitoring via Prometheus, and logging with Elasticsearch and Kibana.
