This is the storyline you are going to follow:
This workshop is for intermediate OpenShift users. A good understanding of how OpenShift works along with hands-on experience is expected. For example we will not tell you how to log in with oc
to your cluster or tell you what it is… ;)
We try to balance guided workshop steps and challenge you to use your knowledge to learn new skills. This means you’ll get detailed step-by-step instructions for every new chapter/task, later on the guide will become less verbose and we’ll weave in some challenges.
As part of the workshop you will be provided with freshly installed OpenShift 4.10 clusters. Depending on attendee numbers we might ask you to gather in teams. Some workshop tasks must be done only once for the cluster (e.g. installing Operators), others like deploying and securing the application can be done by every team member separately in their own Project. This will be mentioned in the guide.
You’ll get all access details for your lab cluster from the facilitators. This includes the URL to the OpenShift console and information about how to SSH into your bastion host to run oc
if asked to.
The easiest way to provide this environment is through the Red Hat Demo System. Provision catalog item Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 Demo for the the attendees.
While the workshop is designed to be run on Red Hat Demo System (RHDS) and the environment AWS with OpenShift Open Environment, you should be able to run the workshop on a 4.14 cluster of your own.
Just make sure :
This workshop was tested with these versions :
We’ll tackle the topics at hand step by step with an introduction covering the things worked on before each section.
You’ll notice placeholders for cluster access details, mainly the part of the domain that is specific to your cluster. There are two options:
<DOMAIN>
replace it with the value for your environment
apps.
e.g. for console-openshift-console.apps.cluster-t50z9.t50z9.sandbox4711.opentlc.com
replace cluster-t50z9.t50z9.sandbox4711.opentlc.com
Enter your OpenShift url after the apps
part (e.g. cluster-t50z9.t50z9.sandbox4711.opentlc.com
) and click the button to generate a link that will customize your lab guide.
Click the generated link once to apply it the the current guide.
Generate URLCheck to see if replacement is active -> <DOMAIN>
