Integrating ROSA Applications with AWS Services (CS221)
Description
Integrate applications deployed on ROSA with AWS services in a way that cluster administrators and platform engineers retain control of credentials and roles required by applications to access AWS services instead of exposing those credentials to application developers.

Target Audience
- ROSA Administrators, Platform Engineers, Cloud Administrators, System Administrators and other infrastructure-related IT roles who are responsible for providing and supporting infrastructure for applications deployed on AWS
- Enterprise Architects, Site Reliability Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and other application-related IT roles who are responsible for designing infrastructure for applications deployed on AWS
Pre-Requisites
- CS220 - Create and Configure Production Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) Clusters or equivalent experience: “I know how to create and access a private ROSA cluster”
- AWS administration at the level of either AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate or AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate, or equivalent experience: “I know how to manage AWS infrastructure services”
- It is recommended that learners also enroll in the Red Hat Certified OpenShift Administration certification courses in addition to taking CS220 and CS221
Objectives
- Integrate with external container registries such as ECR and Quay.io to deploy applications from private image repositories
- Configure storage classes to enable application access to different EBS volume types
- Configure storage classes and security contexts to enable application access to shared EFS storage volumes
- Configure pod identity using STS/IRSA to enable application access to AWS services such as database (Aurora), integration (SQS), and object storage (S3)
- Provision AWS services for applications using the AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK)
- Federate and query application metrics (application workload monitoring) with Amazon Managed Prometheus Service
- Aggregate and query structured application logs with Amazon CloudWatch
- Configure custom domains and TLS certificates for secure public access to applications

Course Outline
1 - Deploy Applications From External Registries
- Deploy applications on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) from private container image repositories in external centralized container image registries.
2 - Provide Amazon Storage Volumes for Applications
- Configure Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS) or Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) volumes that meet the cost, performance, and sharing requirements of their applications.
3 - Configure Application Access to AWS Services
- Configure applications for access to shared AWS services by using Kubernetes service accounts, and provision dedicated AWS services by using Kubernetes custom resources.
4 - OpenShift and AWS Application Observability
- Configure ROSA clusters to forward application logs to Amazon CloudWatch and application metrics to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus.
5 - Custom Domains for ROSA Applications
- Expose applications to internet users with secure URLs by using human-readable DNS domains.
