Creating and Configuring Production ROSA Clusters (CS220)

Creating and Configuring Production ROSA Clusters (CS220) teaches how to configure ROSA clusters as part of pre-existing AWS environments and how to integrate ROSA with AWS services commonly used by IT operations teams, such as Amazon CloudWatch.

Course Content Summary

• Create ROSA STS PrivateLink clusters
• Connect PrivateLink ROSA clusters to existing VPCs and enable administrators and developers to access those clusters
• Configure dedicated machine pools and node/pod autoscaling
• Configure node, cluster, and audit log forwarding to Amazon CloudWatch
• Configure authentication and group sync with Amazon Cognito

Module 1: Private Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) Clusters

• Create a PrivateLink ROSA cluster with STS and enable developers or administrators to access the API and router endpoints of the cluster.

Module 2: Node and Pod Autoscaling

• Configure a ROSA cluster and a workload to dynamically scale the number of cluster nodes and application pods according to load.

Module 3: Monitor ROSA Clusters with Amazon CloudWatch

• Configure ROSA clusters to forward logs to Amazon CloudWatch for long-term storage, aggregation, and analysis, and to authenticate OpenShift users by using Amazon Cognito.

Recommended training

• DO120 - Introduction to Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) or equivalent experience: I know how to create and access a public ROSA cluster.
• AWS administration at the level of either AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate or AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate, or equivalent experience: I know how to manage AWS infrastructure services.
• Basic knowledge of OpenShift from DO080 Technical Overview: I know basic concepts of OpenShift and containers.

Technology considerations

• AWS environments are not currently provided for hands-on labs. Students must provide their own cloud accounts with sufficient AWS quotas and also be able to enable new services from the marketplace.
• Internet access is required to access AWS services by using the AWS console and the AWS CLI. It is also required to access the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console and associated Red Hat cloud services.
• Students must possess an active Red Hat customer portal account or a free Red Hat Developer program membership.

Target Audience

• Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, System Administrators and other infrastructure-related IT roles who are responsible for providing and supporting infrastructure for applications deployed on AWS.
• Enterprise Architects, Site Reliability Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and other application-related IT roles who are responsible for designing infrastructure for applications deployed on AWS
