Introduction to Red Hat OpenShift
After three days, you will manage applications on Red Hat OpenShift confidently and independently. From the Web Console through Source-to-Image builds and Routes to Operators and Security Context Constraints. You work hands-on on your own OpenShift cluster in our cloud environment.
Workshop Details
What makes this workshop stand out
What you will learn and take away
After three days of OpenShift training, you will work confidently with Red Hat's enterprise Kubernetes platform. Here is what you take away:
- Deploy and manage your own applications: via Web Console, oc CLI, and YAML manifests, with automated builds using Source-to-Image
- Configure security correctly from the start: RBAC, Security Context Constraints, and Resource Quotas protect your cluster from misconfigurations
- Use Operators and Helm Charts productively: install software from the OperatorHub and manage your own packages with Helm
All exercises run on your own OpenShift cluster in our cloud environment. No local setup, no licensing costs for you.

Why the investment pays off
If your team wants to run Kubernetes in the enterprise but the effort for security, CI/CD, and compliance is too much to handle manually, OpenShift solves exactly this problem. This training prepares your team:
- Shorten development cycles: Source-to-Image and integrated build pipelines move code into containers faster without setting up external CI/CD tools
- Meet compliance requirements: Security Context Constraints and RBAC enforce corporate policies at the cluster level, not just as documentation
- Reduce operational overhead: Operators automate lifecycle management of databases, monitoring, and other services instead of manual maintenance
Small groups with a maximum of 8 participants so we can address questions from your project context.
Prerequisites
Required:
- Basic Kubernetes knowledge: Pods, Deployments, Services, and Namespaces should be familiar to you
- Experience with the Linux command line and a text editor
- Basic understanding of containers (Docker or Podman)
Not required:
- Experience with OpenShift or Red Hat products
- Knowledge of Helm or Operators (covered from scratch)
Our Kubernetes fundamentals training provides the ideal preparation.

Testimonials
How participants experience our trainings
Based on 1047+ participant reviewsacross all DevNinjas trainings
"My colleagues specifically looked for a sysadmin course for Docker with another provider and had an instructor who only set up an IDE for them and then only worked on a task sheet with development tasks. I had a course with lots of background information, an instructor who had a really extensive knowledge of the whole subject matter beyond the slides, and I feel optimally informed."
"From my perspective, the workshop had the right speed and an appropriate level of challenge. The subject matter was explained clearly by the instructor and practically consolidated with well-distributed exercises. Adjusting the workshop focus to the participants wishes was not a problem. Valuable practical experiences were shared, and even more specific questions were gladly answered. The instructor's professional expertise and extensive practical experience on the subject gave this workshop a special quality."
