Course Overview
Comprehensive hands-on training and practice tests to prepare you for the Red Hat EX280 exam—covering installation, day-
Prepare to pass the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration (EX280) exam with confidence. This 25-hour, end-to-end course takes you from installing and bootstrapping OpenShift 4.16 through advanced cluster operations, security hardening, application deployment, and disaster recovery. Each module combines concise theory, live CLI and web-console demos, real-world troubleshooting scenarios, and targeted practice questions. You’ll learn to:
Deploy and bootstrap both IPI and UPI clusters in connected and air-gapped environments
Configure OVN-Kubernetes networking, Services, and Routes for production workloads
Integrate identity providers, craft RBAC policies, and apply SecurityContextConstraints
Build, deploy, and automate apps with BuildConfigs, Operators, and GitOps pipelines
Monitor with Prometheus/Grafana, aggregate logs via EFK, and perform etcd backup/restore
Automate node management with MachineSets and MachineHealthChecks
Execute blue/green and canary deployments, plus advanced Operator SDK development
Over 10 modules you’ll get full slide decks, spoken scripts, and built-in practice tests modeled on the EX280 blueprint. By course end, you’ll not only know the how—but also the why—behind every command, manifest, and best practice. Enroll now, tackle the 100+ practice questions, and elevate your OpenShift administration skills!
