Multicluster Management with Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus teaches the skills required to maintain a diverse portfolio of applications, running across a fleet of OpenShift clusters. Applications follow placement rules determined by capacity and criticality; cluster configurations comply with governance and security policies; all automated according to DevOps principles.

This course is based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management 2.4.

Course content summary

• Deploy Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) in a hub cluster
• Add a managed cluster to RHACM (configure a cluster to be managed by RHACM)
• Define and apply cluster configuration policies
• Detect and correct non-conformance to cluster configuration policies
• Visualize and compare cluster settings between different clusters
• Define and apply application placement policies
• Identify and compare application resources from multiple clusters
• Deploy Red Hat Quay in the hub cluster
• Deploy Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) in the hub cluster
• Integrate Red Hat Quay and RHACS with RHACM.

Outline for this course

• Describe multicluster architectures and use Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus to solve their challenges.
• Describe and navigate the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) web console. Configure role-based access control (RBAC) and search for resources across multiple clusters by using the RHACM search engine.
• Deploy and manage policies in a multicluster environment by using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) governance.
• Gain insight into the fleet of managed clusters by using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) observability components.
• Deploy and manage applications in a multicluster environment with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes GitOps.
• Install and configure Red Hat Quay on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP).
• Describe Red Hat Quay use cases in a multicluster environment,  and use Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) to deploy applications and  control the image sources allowed in the cluster fleet.
• Install and configure Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) and learn how it can help organizations with security in multicluster environments.
• Manage the operational security of a Kubernetes cluster fleet using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS), and integrate RHACS with external services.
