Enterprise Kubernetes Storage with Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation
Learn the essential skills required to design, implement, and manage a Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation cluster and perform day-to-day Kubernetes storage management tasks.
Traditional storage options available to Kubernetes administrators are limited and lack versatility. Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation provides real advantages, even when backed by cloud storage such as AWS EBS or legacy datacenter storage 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 OADP APIs. This course walks the student through the recommended steps of configuring and managing storage services for containers and Kubernetes services.
What you'll learn
- Describe the OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF) features, and deployment architectures and their relation to Kubernetes storage APIs, and install an ODF cluster on an OpenShift cluster by using the internal mode
- Select and configure ODF storage classes to meet application requirements
- Configure applications to use object storage from ODF
- Configure OpenShift Monitoring, Registry, and Logging to use storage from ODF
- Back up and restore application data by using Kubernetes CSI APIs
- Monitor the storage health metrics of an ODF cluster
- Identify the Ceph storage components for Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation and troubleshoot common problems and failure scenarios
