Red Hat Certified Specialist in Containers and Kubernetes (EX180) Crash Course
Published by Pearson
- Learn RedHat skills and solutions for the EX180 exam
- Run applications in OpenShift
- Learn and work with podman and use advanced features and its deployment
Containers have become the standard for offering applications in the cloud and on servers. Red Hat is a leading provider of containers, offering their own podman-based solution for containers, as well as Kubernetes-based orchestration in OpenShift. This training will give you the skills you need to start implementing Red Hat’s solution as well as prepare you for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Containers and Kubernetes EX180 exam.
What you’ll learn and how you can apply it
- Running Containers with podman
- Managing podman images
- Installing an OpenShift POC environment based on Code Ready Containers
- Understanding OpenShift
- Creating applications in OpenShift
- Troubleshooting applications in OpenShift
- Using Source to Image to build container images straight from code
This live event is for you because...
- It provides an introduction to working with podman containers and OpenShift, which can be used as one of the key ingredients in a hybrid cloud environment
- It prepares for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Containers and Kubernetes EX180 exam
Prerequisites
- Working knowledge of Linux is required, preferably at RHCSA level
Course Setup:
It is recommended to set up a lab environment before start of the course.
To work with the podman part of this course on day 1, students are recommended to install a physical or virtual machine running the latest version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. A free copy can be obtained from developers.redhat.com.
To work with OpenShift on day 2 of this course, students are recommended to install Code Ready Containers (CRC) on a physical machine. (Virtual machines are not very well supported.) A free version of Code Ready Containers can be obtained from developers.redhat.com. To install Code Ready Containers, the host machine needs support for virtualization, as well as 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPUs and at least 60 GB available disk space. Additional instructions are here for installing Code Ready Containers.
If a student does not have sufficient hardware resources to run CRC, the OpenShift Developer Sandbox can be used as an alternative. Instructions are here for using the developer sandbox.
