Course Overview

The Red Hat OpenShift 4 on Bare Metal course by Koenig Original is a specialized, one-day training program designed for IT professionals aiming to deploy and manage production-grade OpenShift clusters on physical infrastructure. This course prepares candidates for the Red Hat Certified System Administrator in OpenShift exam (EX280), a performance-based certification validating real-world skills in configuring and managing OpenShift Container Platform 4. It is ideal for DevOps Engineers, Kubernetes Administrators, and Cloud Platform Engineers seeking to master bare metal deployments. With enterprise adoption of OpenShift growing rapidly—over 1,500 organizations worldwide now run OpenShift in production—this training addresses critical demand for professionals skilled in on-premises container orchestration.

Participants engage with core technologies including Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS), KVM for virtualization, HAProxy for load balancing, DNS/DHCP for network configuration, and Ignition for node provisioning. The hands-on lab environment simulates a real data center setup where students build a fully functional OpenShift cluster from scratch on bare metal infrastructure. Using the Assisted Installer and installer-provisioned workflows, learners configure control plane and worker nodes, set up bootstrap machines, and generate Ignition files to automate OS deployment. A key project involves deploying a secure, high-availability cluster with persistent storage and integrated local image registry, followed by implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and conducting comprehensive cluster health checks using native OpenShift tools.

By completing this Koenig Original course, participants gain direct preparation for the Red Hat EX280 certification, widely recognized as a benchmark for OpenShift expertise and a stepping stone to the Red Hat Certified Architect in OpenShift credential. Certified professionals report median salaries of $158,000 annually, with senior roles reaching over $200,000, particularly in remote and cloud-native environments. Koenig differentiates itself through Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official Red Hat courseware, ensuring consistent, instructor-led training with real-time lab support. Graduates emerge ready to lead OpenShift deployments in enterprise settings, driving digital transformation through scalable, secure container platforms.
