Traditional storage options available to Kubernetes administrators are limited and lack flexibility and/or versatility. Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation provides real advantages, even when it is backed by cloud storage such as AWS EBS and sophisticated on-prem legacy storage like SAN arrays. Many companies rely on third-party solutions to manage backup and disaster recovery in production. However, proper planning to implement these solutions requires knowledge of the Kubernetes CSI and OAPD APIs. This course walks the student through the recommended steps of configuring and managing storage services for container and Kubernetes services.

FAQs on Enterprise Kubernetes Storage with Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation – Red Hat Learning Subscription Course (DO370LS)

Participants should have EX280 certification (or equivalent OpenShift cluster admin/SRE knowledge). EX200 or Linux system administration knowledge is recommended for all roles. Familiarity with Ansible Automation Platform and storage technologies (disk types, SAN, NAS) is helpful but not required.

This course is designed for Cluster Administrators, Cluster Engineers, Systems Administrators, Cloud Administrators, Cloud Engineers, and Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) who work with Kubernetes storage solutions.

You will learn to provision non-shareable and shareable block storage, shareable file storage, and shareable object storage for use cases including databases, virtual machines, CI/CD pipelines, AI/ML workloads, and media streaming.

The course covers both internal (converged) mode deployment on Red Hat OpenShift and external mode deployment, including configuring cluster services and application workloads to use these storage modes.

Yes, the course teaches backup and restore operations using the OADP API for block, file, and object storage, as well as troubleshooting internal Ceph components and monitoring/expanding storage capacity and performance.
