FAQ:

What specific qualifications or prerequisites are needed for participants before enrolling in the course?

Familiarity with basic software development concepts and version control tools (e.g., Git) is recommended. Prior experience with containers or Kubernetes is helpful but not required.

How long is each day's session, and is there a total number of hours required for the entire course?

Each day's session is generally structured to last around 4-5 hours, with breaks and interactive activities included. The total course duration spans five days, approximately 20-25 hours of instruction.

What is the difference between OpenShift Pipelines and Jenkins for CI/CD?

While Jenkins is a general-purpose CI/CD tool, OpenShift Pipelines is a Kubernetes-native solution based on Tekton. It integrates tightly with OpenShift's security model, allows containerized steps, and scales automatically within the OpenShift platform.

 

How This Course is Different from Other OpenShift Courses:

Unlike traditional OpenShift courses that focus purely on system administration, "OpenShift Essentials Bootcamp: Build, Deploy & Operate" centers on essential skills needed by developers and DevOps teams. This course emphasizes foundational concepts and real-world workflows, including Source-to-Image automation, pipeline configuration, health checks, and scaling strategies. It provides practical training through hands-on sessions and scenario-based exercises that prepare teams for immediate use of OpenShift in enterprise environments.
