Course Overview

The Red Hat course CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration is designed for IT professionals responsible for deploying and managing secure, production-grade Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) environments. This training prepares learners for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in ROSA exam (EX229), a performance-based assessment validating expertise in configuring and integrating ROSA clusters within enterprise AWS infrastructures. Targeted at ROSA Administrators, Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, and Site Reliability Engineers, this course addresses the growing industry demand for hybrid cloud skills, with 78% of enterprises now running OpenShift in production on public clouds like AWS. Participants will gain critical competencies needed to support modern application platforms while maintaining security and operational control.

Students engage with core technologies including Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA), Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon Cognito, Amazon EBS and EFS, AWS IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA), and AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK). The hands-on lab environment, powered by Red Hat’s dedicated AWS infrastructure, enables learners to build end-to-end solutions such as creating STS-enabled PrivateLink ROSA clusters integrated with existing VPCs, configuring autoscaling machine pools, and deploying applications from private registries like ECR and Quay.io. A key real-world project involves securing application access to AWS services—including Aurora, S3, and SQS—using pod identity and IRSA, ensuring administrators maintain credential control without burdening developers. Labs also cover observability integration using Amazon Managed Prometheus and CloudWatch for centralized logging and monitoring.

By completing CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration, students are prepared to earn the Red Hat Certified Specialist in ROSA credential, a recognized milestone toward achieving Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA) status. This certification is highly valued in enterprise cloud roles, where certified professionals report average salary increases of 20–25%, with senior platform engineers earning $130,000–$160,000 annually in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances learning outcomes with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and optional 1-on-1 training, using official Red Hat courseware to ensure technical accuracy. Graduates emerge ready to lead secure, scalable OpenShift deployments on AWS, positioning themselves for advanced roles in cloud architecture and platform engineering.

Is the certification exam included in the CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration course?
Yes, the Red Hat Certified Specialist in ROSA exam (EX229) is included with your CS229 enrollment. If purchased separately, this remote proctored exam costs $550 USD. Red Hat does not offer refunds for individual exam purchases, and you must schedule your attempt within one year of purchase to maintain validity.
What training formats are available for CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration?
Koenig offers CS229 via live online instructor-led sessions and private group classrooms. We provide Guaranteed-to-Run (GTR) scheduling, which ensures your class proceeds with at least one student. GTR sessions may be canceled if no enrollments are confirmed 21 days before the scheduled start date.
How long is lab access provided for CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration?
Students receive full access to a Red Hat-provided AWS environment for hands-on practice throughout the 5-day training period. You will need active internet access to utilize the AWS Console, CLI, and Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. A valid Red Hat account or Developer membership is required for all lab activities.
What is the cancellation policy for CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration?
For open enrollment, please cancel or reschedule 14 calendar days before the start date to avoid fees. Rescheduling within 13 days incurs a 50% penalty, while cancellations on the start date forfeit 100% of the course fee. Private training sessions must be completed within one year of purchase to avoid forfeiture.
What is the format and duration of the EX229 exam for CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration?
The EX229 is a 4-hour, performance-based, hands-on exam with zero multiple-choice questions. It tests your ability to manage ROSA clusters on AWS in real-world scenarios. There is no set passing score; Red Hat Certification Central reports results as pass/fail within 3 business days of your exam completion.
How long is the Red Hat Certified Specialist in ROSA credential valid after completing CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters?
This certification remains valid for three years. To renew, you must pass the current version of the EX229 exam before your expiration date. Red Hat does not provide grace periods, and retaking the exam requires the full $550 fee, as there are no discounted renewal options available.
Does Koenig provide post-training support for CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration?
Koenig provides post-training support, including access to instructors for specific follow-up questions and exam preparation guidance. While formal mentorship is not guaranteed, you benefit from intensive labs. Red Hat’s policy allows one free exam retake if you fail your first attempt, provided it is taken within one year.
What are the prerequisites for CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration?
You should complete DO120 (Introduction to Red Hat OpenShift on AWS) or possess equivalent experience. Proficiency in AWS administration at the level of AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate and basic OpenShift knowledge from DO080 are required. Familiarity with Linux command lines and container concepts is strongly recommended for this advanced course.
What career growth follows CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration?
This course prepares you for roles like ROSA Administrator, Platform Engineer, or Cloud Architect. Certified specialists typically earn between $110,000 and $150,000 USD annually in North America. Achieving this credential is a strategic step for RHCA architects looking to expand their expertise in enterprise-grade Red Hat cloud solutions.
How does instructor-led CS229 Deploying Production AWS ROSA Clusters: Creation, Configuration, and Application Integration compare to self-study?
Instructor-led training offers structured labs and expert guidance on integrating ROSA with AWS services like CloudWatch, Cognito, and EFS—complex topics that are difficult to master alone. While documentation exists for self-study, our course accelerates your learning and aligns directly with the operational scenarios found in the EX229 performance-based exam.
