RedHat OpenShift Masterclass: Enterprise SRE BootCamp

About Course

Take your Kubernetes skills to the production enterprise level. This course is specifically engineered for Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and DevOps professionals who need to deploy, manage, scale, and secure enterprise workloads on RedHat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP). You will move past basic container orchestration and master production incident management, cluster monitoring, advanced routing, multi-cluster deployments, and automated day-2 operations.

What This Course Includes

1. Architecture & Installation

OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) Architecture vs. Vanilla Kubernetes
Understanding CoreOS, Ignition, and Operators
Deploying OpenShift: IPI (Installer-Provisioned) vs. UPI (User-Provisioned) Infrastructure

2. Advanced Enterprise Networking

Configuring OpenShift Ingress Controllers and Routes
Managing OVN-Kubernetes CNI, Network Policies, and Egress IPs
Service Mesh (Istio) integration for microservices traffic management

3. SRE Cluster Operations & Day-2 Management

Managing Cluster Logging with ElasticSearch, Fluentd, and Kibana (EFK)
Deep-dive Monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager
Cluster Scaling: MachineSets, Autoscaling, and Node tuning

4. Enterprise Security & Storage

Managing Security Context Constraints (SCC) and Network Policies
Integrating Active Directory/LDAP and OAuth Identity Providers
Dynamic Storage Provisioning using ODF (OpenShift Data Foundation) and CSI

5. GitOps, CI/CD, and Multi-Cluster Governance

Building declarative GitOps pipelines using OpenShift GitOps (ArgoCD)
Managing multi-cluster environments with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM)
Automated application builds using OpenShift Pipelines (Tekton)

Course Features

100% Hands-On Labs: Real-world enterprise troubleshooting scenarios.
SRE Scenario Walkthroughs: Simulating production cluster failures, node crashes, and network degradation.
Interview & Resume Preparation: Mock interviews covering complex OpenShift architecture and system design questions.
Real-Time Project Support: Direct guidance from corporate trainers with active Fortune 500 consulting experience.

Deploy & Scale Enterprise Clusters — Master both Installer-Provisioned (IPI) and User-Provisioned (UPI) infrastructures, and automate node scaling using MachineSets.
Manage Advanced Cloud Networking — Configure production-grade OpenShift Routes, manage the OVN-Kubernetes CNI, and control microservices traffic with Service Mesh (Istio).
Implement SRE Day-2 Operations — Build complete cluster observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager alongside centralized enterprise logging (EFK stack).
Secure & Restrict Workloads — Secure multi-tenant clusters using Security Context Constraints (SCC), network policies, and enterprise Identity Providers (LDAP/OAuth).
Automate with GitOps & Multi-Cluster Tools — Implement declarative continuous delivery using OpenShift GitOps (ArgoCD) and govern multiple production clusters simultaneously via RHACM.
Resolve Real-Time Production Incidents — Troubleshoot actual enterprise scenarios, including node degradation, cluster certificate expirations, and performance bottlenecks.
