    Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Kubernetes Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380)

    Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Deployments in the Enterprise (DO380) is an advanced, enterprise-focused training for professionals who already administer OpenShift clusters and want to scale, automate, and operate them in production environments. The course covers critical areas such as authentication and identity integration, application backup and recovery with OADP, advanced pod scheduling, GitOps-based automation, monitoring, and centralized logging. It builds directly on DO280 knowledge and prepares learners for real-world enterprise OpenShift operations.

    At KR Network Cloud, DO380 training is delivered through instructor-led sessions, structured hands-on labs, and real production-style scenarios. Learners work on practical tasks that reflect how OpenShift is used in organizations, gaining experience with cluster reliability, workload isolation, and operational troubleshooting rather than only theoretical concepts.

    This training also supports EX380 exam preparation, leading to the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Automation and Integration certification. The delivery approach is aligned with performance-based exam expectations, making it suitable for professionals seeking DO380 training, EX380 training, and advanced OpenShift exam preparation
