- Affinity, taints & tolerations
How you practise
Hands-on on a real cluster, troubleshooting first
You create your own OpenShift cluster on the cloud and use it through the whole program, so you learn how the platform behaves in production and how to fix it when something breaks.
Step 01
Create and access your cluster
Set up an OpenShift cluster on a cloud platform, then work with it through the web console and the oc CLI.
Step 02
Ship from Git to a secured route
Build from source with S2I and webhook triggers, roll out with Deployments, and expose the app on a TLS route.
Step 03
Lock down a shared cluster
Set up users and groups, RBAC, SCCs, network policies, and quotas the way multi-team clusters are run.
Step 04
Troubleshoot what breaks
Debug SCC and permission errors, ImagePullBackOff, PVC failures, scheduling issues, and route/TLS problems.
New to Kubernetes, or want the end-to-end project?
OpenShift is built on Kubernetes. If you want deeper Kubernetes foundations first, start with Docker & Kubernetes. For a full end-to-end deployment project with CI/CD, see the DevOps Engineer Program.
Curriculum
What you'll learn
17 syllabus modules, from architecture to CI/CD, grouped into nine areas.

Frequently asked questions
Basic Kubernetes knowledge helps, but the program refreshes container and Kubernetes essentials before focusing on how OpenShift is used in real projects. For deeper Kubernetes foundations, see our Docker & Kubernetes program.
