- Understand the relationship between the different versions of OpenShift (OKP, OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat OpenShift, etc.).
- Create, configure, manage, and troubleshoot an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
- Implement OpenShift Container Platform’s self-manage capabilities to improve platform stability and consistency.
- Secure OpenShift Container Platform.
- Monitor and gather metrics.
- Manage storage.
- Upgrade an OpenShift Container Platform 3 cluster to OpenShift Container Platform 4.
