Scale your enterprise Kubernetes deployments. Master Day-2 OpenShift operations including GitOps workflows (Argo CD), OADP backups, LDAP/OIDC integrations, and cluster monitoring to pass the rigorous EX380 exam.
The EX380 certification validates your expertise as an Advanced System Administrator in OpenShift. It proves you can integrate enterprise authentication, implement declarative GitOps workflows, and manage disaster recovery across massive corporate Kubernetes footprints.
Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), Platform Engineers, and Cloud Administrators responsible for keeping massive OpenShift clusters running without disruption.
You must hold an active Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration (EX280) credential. Strong RHCSA-level Linux skills are mandatory.
Duration: 3 Hours
Format: 100% Performance-Based
Passing Score: 210 / 300
Environment: OpenShift Container Platform
Integrate OpenShift with enterprise identity systems. Configure authentication using LDAP and the Red Hat SSO OIDC (Keycloak). Manage group synchronizations, resolve conflicts, and enforce granular RBAC across large clusters.
Automate cluster administration and application delivery. Deploy the OpenShift GitOps operator, configure Argo CD, and create continuous deployment pipelines integrating Git, Helm, and Kustomize.
Protect mission-critical data. Deploy the OpenShift API for Data Protection (OADP) operator. Configure full application backups, schedule recurring backups, manage volume snapshots, and execute successful disaster recovery restorations.
Optimize cluster node utilization. Dedicate multiple cluster nodes to specific workloads using node pools, machine configurations, and the machine configuration operator. Enforce workload placement using node taints, tolerations, affinity rules, and Pod Disruption Budgets.
Troubleshoot performance bottlenecks at scale. Configure OpenShift logging to forward logs to external aggregators using Vector and Loki. Query logs from cluster services and configure customized alerting and notifications.
You must possess the Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration (EX280) certification, or have equivalent hands-on experience managing OpenShift clusters as covered in DO180 and DO280.
The EX380 exam is a 100% performance-based evaluation lasting 3 hours. You will be tasked with performing advanced automation, GitOps integration, and cluster scaling operations on a live OpenShift Container Platform environment.
As enterprises scale their Kubernetes environments, standard administration (DO280) is no longer enough. DO380 trains Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and Platform Engineers to manage thousands of applications using GitOps, OADP, and advanced machine configs to ensure zero downtime.
Yes. Advanced tasks like configuring OIDC identity providers, deploying Argo CD, and cluster partitioning require real infrastructure. We provide dedicated, multi-node OpenShift lab environments for you to practice safely.
