Kubernetes plus the enterprise layer
Day 1
OpenShift Architecture & Developer Workflow
- OpenShift vs upstream Kubernetes: What's added and why — understanding the delta before diving in
- Projects, Routes, and the OpenShift Console: OpenShift's namespace model and the web console workflow
- BuildConfigs & ImageStreams: Source-to-image (S2I) builds — building container images directly in the cluster
- DeploymentConfigs vs Kubernetes Deployments: When to use each and how to migrate between them
- oc CLI vs kubectl: Commands that only exist in OpenShift and how they extend the standard toolchain
- OpenShift Pipelines (Tekton): Tasks, pipelines, triggers — cloud-native CI/CD built into the platform
Day 2
Security, Operators & Operations
- Security Context Constraints (SCC): The OpenShift permission model and how it differs from Kubernetes PodSecurityAdmission
- Running non-root containers: Adjusting SCCs for common workloads and third-party images
- OperatorHub: Consuming community and certified operators from the built-in marketplace
- Writing a simple operator with the Operator SDK: The Operator pattern explained and implemented
- OpenShift GitOps (ArgoCD built-in): Application and cluster management with the pre-installed ArgoCD instance
- Monitoring: OpenShift Monitoring stack — Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager — configuration and custom rules
What your team walks away with
After two days, your team understands the OpenShift-specific layer: security model, operator pattern, built-in tooling — and how to apply it without fighting the platform.
- Navigate OpenShift security model and configure SCCs correctly for your workloads
- Use OperatorHub and understand when operators add value
- Set up and monitor OpenShift Pipelines for CI/CD
- Manage applications with OpenShift GitOps
