Course Overview

Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Kubernetes Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380) is an advanced course designed for platform engineers, system administrators, and cloud administrators responsible for managing large-scale OpenShift Container Platform 4.18 deployments. Building on foundational skills from DO280, this course prepares learners for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Automation and Integration (EX380) exam, equipping them to handle enterprise demands such as cluster scalability, reliability, and performance. It also supports site reliability engineers (SREs) and DevOps engineers in designing infrastructure for cloud-native applications. With 75% of Fortune 500 companies now adopting container platforms like OpenShift, expertise in scalable cluster management is critical for modern IT operations.

Participants work directly with core technologies including OpenShift GitOps, OpenShift Logging, OpenShift Monitoring, OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP), LDAP/OIDC identity providers, and cluster operators. The hands-on labs are conducted in a cloud-based classroom environment featuring a full OpenShift cluster and remote administrator workstation, simulating real production conditions. Learners configure machine pools and node partitioning to dedicate resources to specific workloads, implement automated GitOps workflows for cluster and application management, integrate enterprise authentication via LDAP and OIDC, and set up comprehensive logging and monitoring. A key project involves using OADP to perform full application backup and restore operations, ensuring data resilience in production environments.

This course prepares professionals for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Automation and Integration certification, a credential recognized across industries for validating advanced OpenShift operational skills. Certified professionals report average salaries between $125,000 and $170,000 USD annually in the United States, with higher earning potential for roles such as Senior OpenShift Administrator, Platform Engineer, and Cloud Infrastructure Architect.
