Overview

Traditional storage options available to Kubernetes administrators are limited and lack flexibility and/or versatility. Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation provides real advantages, even when it is backed by cloud storage such as AWS EBS and sophisticated on-prem legacy storage like SAN arrays. Many companies rely on third-party solutions to manage backup and disaster recovery in production. However, proper planning to implement these solutions requires knowledge of the Kubernetes CSI and OAPD APIs. This course walks the student through the recommended steps of configuring and managing storage services for container and Kubernetes services.

Course content coverage
  • Deploy Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation in internal and external mode. 
  • Provision non-shareable block storage to applications like databases. 
  • Provision shareable block storage to applications like virtual machines. 
  • Provision shareable file storage to such applications as CI/CD pipelines and AI/ML. Provision shareable object storage to applications, such as AI/ML and media streaming. 
  • Provision storage for Red Hat OpenShift cluster services, such as monitoring and registry. 
  • Monitor and expand storage capacity and performance.
  • Attach and detach storage from an application for backup and archiving. 
  • Create and access volume snapshots and clones. 
  • Troubleshoot internal Ceph components of Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation. 
  • Perform backup and restore operations using the OADP API.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Why get Red Hat certified?

    Red Hat certifications are highly respected in the IT industry and validate your expertise in open source technologies, particularly Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Red Hat OpenShift.

    These certifications demonstrate your ability to design, deploy, and manage complex enterprise environments using Red Hat solutions, increasing your value to employers and opening doors to a wide range of career opportunities.

  • What to expect for the examination?

    Red Hat certification exams are performance-based, meaning you'll be evaluated on your ability to perform real-world tasks in a live environment.

    This ensures that you not only understand the theoretical concepts but also have the practical skills to apply them.

    Note: Certification requirements and policies may be updated by Red Hat from time to time. We apologize for any discrepancies; do get in touch with us if you have any questions.

  • How long is Red Hat certification valid for?

    Red Hat certifications are current for three years.

    According to Red Hat, these certifications do not “expire”, or become “terminated” or “invalid”, but they can become “non-current”.

    There are different ways to keep a certification current, depending on the type of certification. You always have the option of retaking an exam to renew its associated certification.

    In some instances, you can earn other certifications to keep your certification current. This approach allows IT professionals to expand their skills and knowledge into new areas, which is increasingly important for a successful IT career.
