Course brief

A production-focused OpenShift and OKD curriculum for platform engineers operating secure Kubernetes environments.

This course is organized as a progressive operational curriculum. Lesson files are reserved in the repository structure so future content can be added without changing URLs or navigation.

By the end

You will be able to

  • Explain OpenShift and OKD architecture and how they extend Kubernetes
  • Deploy and operate workloads, networking, storage, builds, and Operators
  • Administer identity, RBAC, SCCs, certificates, nodes, and cluster operators
  • Design upgrades, disconnected environments, backup, recovery, and observability
  • Integrate GitOps, Pipelines, virtualization, service mesh, and multi-cluster operations

Complete syllabus

42 chapters in prerequisite order.

The structure goes beyond a command reference and includes architecture, security, reliability, troubleshooting, automation, governance, and production operations.
