Course Overview
The Building a Sovereign Cloud with Red Hat OpenShift (DO505) course by Red Hat is designed for enterprise architects, IT security practitioners, and operations personnel tasked with meeting stringent digital sovereignty requirements, particularly under frameworks like the European Union Cloud Sovereignty Objectives (SOV). This advanced training equips professionals with the skills to design, build, and operate a sovereign cloud platform using Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.20. With growing regulatory demands, 78% of European enterprises now prioritize sovereign cloud solutions to ensure compliance with data residency and jurisdictional control mandates. The course prepares learners to deploy multitenant clusters-as-a-service with hosted control planes, enforce zero-trust isolation, and implement jurisdiction-aware access controls, making it essential for organizations operating in regulated sectors.
Participants in the Building a Sovereign Cloud with Red Hat OpenShift (DO505) course engage in hands-on labs using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM), SPIFFE/SPIRE for zero-trust workload identity, external key management systems, network-bound disk encryption, and GitOps-driven infrastructure automation. Using the Red Hat OpenShift platform, students configure sovereign edge clusters in air-gapped environments, onboard tenant clusters via RHACM’s hub-and-spoke architecture, and implement cryptographic sovereignty across data at rest, in use, and during recovery. A key lab scenario involves building a sovereign disaster recovery solution with in-jurisdiction backups, ensuring compliance with EU sovereignty mandates. These practical exercises are conducted in a live OpenShift environment, reinforcing real-world deployment and operational resilience.
This course prepares IT professionals for roles requiring deep expertise in sovereign cloud operations and supports broader Red Hat certification pathways focused on security and compliance.
