In this hands-on lab, you'll learn how to set up a disconnected installation of OpenShift, allowing you to deploy and manage OpenShift clusters in environments without direct internet access. You'll begin by downloading the necessary OpenShift components on a connected host, transferring them to a disconnected host, and proceeding with installing OpenShift on bare metal servers using the agent-based installer. By the end of this lab, you'll have a fully functional, disconnected OpenShift cluster. This lab is ideal for users working in secure or isolated environments where external connectivity is restricted or non-existent.

Deploy a Kubernetes cluster on vSphere with SpectroCloud Palette in this hands-on lab. Learn to integrate, automate, and manage container orchestration in a virtualized environment, empowering IT professionals to modernize enterprise workloads with streamlined deployment techniques.

Real Kubernetes environments break — pods crash, services go unreachable, and IPs stop assigning. This lab guides you through real-world failure scenarios before putting you in the hot seat with a no hand-holding CrashLoop challenge. Using kubectl, K9s, and Headlamp, you'll diagnose misconfigured Helm charts, resolve MetalLB failures, and fix five progressive CrashLoop scenarios. Build the instincts that matter when production goes down.

This hands-on lab introduces infrastructure engineers to container orchestration fundamentals using Kubernetes. Participants will learn how to deploy, scale, and manage both single-container and multi-container applications across a cluster, gaining essential skills for modern infrastructure management. No prior Kubernetes experience is required.

This hands-on lab introduces infrastructure engineers to container fundamentals using Docker. Participants will learn to build, run, and manage both single and multi-container applications, gaining essential skills for modern infrastructure management. No prior Docker experience is required.

This sandbox lab provides a highly available deployment of Kubernetes for users to test deployments, services, functionality or any other tasks in a freshly deployed cluster. The lab is entirely self-guided, and the activities are up to the user on what tasks to perform.

In this hands-on lab, you will take on an exciting journey into the world of Kubernetes. Whether you are a beginner or have some experience with Kubernetes, this lab will provide you with the opportunity to learn and practice deploying a basic Kubernetes cluster from scratch on a Linux operating system.

This hands-on lab guides infrastructure engineers through building and managing a production-like multi-node Kubernetes cluster. Participants will join worker nodes, enable bare-metal load balancing with MetalLB, provision persistent storage with Rook-Ceph, and deploy stateful applications with scheduling controls and observability. Prior single-node Kubernetes experience recommended.

Learn how Helm simplifies application packaging and deployment in Kubernetes. This lab walks through installing Helm, creating charts, and managing repositories with ChartMuseum in a three-node cluster.
