Red Hat OpenShift Installation Lab Training in Belgium

This Red Hat OpenShift Installation Lab Training in Belgium equips participants with the skills to install OpenShift clusters across:

• Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)

• Virtual environments (VMware, RHV, KVM)

• Bare metal (physical servers)

Participants will:

• Compare Full Stack Automation (FSA) vs Pre-existing Infrastructure (IPI) methods

• Customize installations for different infrastructures

• Collect troubleshooting data during failed installations

• Complete essential post-installation tasks

Hands-on lab access remains available for 45 days after course completion.

• Cluster Administrators: Scaling with additional clusters

• Cluster Engineers: Designing clusters for performance & reliability

• SREs: Deploying test clusters for validation, upgrades & incident response

By the end of this Red Hat OpenShift Installation Lab Training in Belgium, you will have gained knowledge and skills in the following areas:

Organizational Impact

• Ensures stable and secure production environments

• Accelerates container adoption journeys

• Provides standardized installation practices across multiple infrastructures

Individual Impact

• Decide when to use FSA vs IPI methods

• Customize OpenShift installs to fit enterprise requirements

• Troubleshoot installation issues effectively

• Validate cluster health & complete pre-production tasks

1. OpenShift Installation Process

• Installer architecture

• FSA vs IPI methods

• Pre-installation requirements: hardware, networking, DNS, load balancer

2. Installing on Cloud Providers

• Provisioning clusters on AWS, Azure, GCP

• FSA-based installations with customizations

• Integration of IAM, storage, networking with OpenShift

• Cloud-specific adjustments (e.g., Route53 on AWS, VNets on Azure)

3. Installing on Virtualized Environments

• Deploying on VMware, RHV, KVM

• Differences between FSA and IPI methods

• VM resource allocation planning

• Networking & storage integration with hypervisors

4. Installing on Bare Metal (Without an Infrastructure Provider)

• Pre-existing Infrastructure installations

• Manual host provisioning (PXE boot, ignition configs)

• Designing network topology, storage classes & node roles

• High availability deployment scenarios

5. Post-Installation Tasks

• Validating cluster operators

• Preparing the cluster for users & projects

• Verifying ingress controller, storage class & network policies

• Enabling logging, monitoring & baseline security

6. Troubleshooting & Optimization

• Collecting logs (must-gather)

• Analyzing failed or incomplete installations

• Restarting and repairing installer sessions

• Performance & security best practices
