    CL-355: Containers, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift Administration

     

    Course Overview:

    Through an introduction to Docker, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift Platform, this training course helps you understand one of the key tenets of the DevOps and DevSecOps Platform (DSOP) movement: continuous integration and continuous deployment. The CI/CD pipeline becomes well understood and implemented in an open architecture.  Containers have become a key technology for the configuration and deployment of applications and micro services. Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that provides foundational services in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, which allows enterprises to manage container deployments and scale their applications using Kubernetes.

    This training course provides an overview of the DoD Enterprise DevSecOps Platform (DSOP) Reference Design, its current state, and ties to DoD Cloud Platform One (P1). Workflows of the DoD Iron Bank container repository are introduced, along with an overview of the DoD Pipeline as represented in Big Bang.  Continuous authorization cATO via Party Bus within NIST RMF is presented. You will become aware of the Platform One (P1) integrations and relationship to Docker, Kubernetes, Istio (Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh) and Red Hat OpenShift Platform.

    In addition to gaining an understanding of these tools, you will build core administration skills through the installation, configuration, and management of an OpenShift cluster and containerized applications.

    • Learn about Containers, Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift architecture
    • Overview DoD Enterprise DevSecOps Platform (DSOP) Reference Design and DoD Cloud Platform One (P1)

    P-325: Python Programming

    Course Overview:

    This is an introductory course into the Python scripting language.  This class uses a hands-on approach in teaching the Python language.  This course builds the prerequisite skills for TechNow's P-345: Python for Pentration Testers course.  Getting comfortable with Python is important to understanding how Python can be utilitized for offensive measures.

    This course is hands-on with the instructor walking the students through many short examples to exemplify an objective.  Dexterity with the language comes through many small code examples to produce the desired result.  Students have fun acquiring points for all the code examples they get correct.  We must be having fun because TechNow is always amazed at how competitive students are in trying to acquire the most points!  

    The instructor will focus on the level that each student is currently at, and ensure the student absorbs the subject matter.  Programming is not a daily tasking of administrators or offensive operators and TechNow understands that.  As an instructor led course TechNow is very successful in making Python accessible to those who do not live eat and breath programming.  If a student's ultimate goal is to attend a course like TechNow's P-345: Python for Pentration Testers course, then not being bogged down in the Python language is critical, and this course (P-325: Python Programming) meets that objective.

    Recently we have introduced Raspberry Pi's and multiple sensors to the P-325: Python Programming course.  This enables the student to actually see productive results from their coding skills in the physical world!  Some examples that students create programs for are: Motion detectors, distance, temperature, cameras and keypads.

    Attendees to P-325: Python Programming will receive TechNow approved course materials and expert instruction.
