RH-305:Red Hat System Administration III: Linux Automation with Ansible

Course Overview:

Red Hat System Administration: Linux Automation with Ansible is designed for Linux administrators and developers who need to automate repeatable and error-prone steps for system provisioning, configuration, application deployment, and orchestration. TechNow’s Ansible course facilitates the dynamic IT infrastructure through automation.

This course also supports DevOps practices through Ansible playbooks automating workflows. TechNow has operated Automated Unix and Linux environment for over 35 years and brings this field experience to the classroom utilizing ansible and discussing its impact on: Infrastructure (Linux, Windows, network devices), Cloud automation (AWS and Azure), Application deployment, Security & compliance, and CI/CD pipelines.

This course also ties in nicely with the TechNow course CL-355: Containers, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift Administration which provides an overview of the DoD Enterprise DevSecOps Platform (DSOP) Reference Design, its current state, and ties to DoD Cloud Platform One (P1).

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.

Course Objectives:

Learn about Containers, Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift architecture
Overview DoD Enterprise DevSecOps Platform (DSOP) Reference Design and DoD Cloud Platform One (P1)
Tie together awareness of various DoD Cloud offerings and their relationships

Install an OpenShift cluster
Configure and manage masters and nodes
Secure OpenShift
Control access to resources on OpenShift
Monitor and collect metrics on OpenShift
Deploy applications on OpenShift using source-to-image (S2I)
Manage storage on OpenShift

Course Outline:

Getting started with container technology
Creating containerized services
Managing containers
Managing container images
Creating custom container images
Deploying containerized applications on OpenShift
Deploying multi-container applications
Troubleshooting containerized applications
