Background

On Octiber 1st, 2024, I attended an in-person Red Hat summit entitled “Connect in Chicago”. The summit consisted of visionary keynotes, hands-on labs and demos, breakout sessions, and networkings. Thus, one of favorite hands-on labs was exploring the Red Hat OpenShift service on AWS environment(ROSA Environment) that has been pre-deployed. This project was so inspiring that i decided to continue work on it after the summit to explore more feature of ROSA.

Approach

In colaborations with hands-on lab leaders, I used Red Hat hybrid cloud console to configure node and cluster scaling policies, managed upgrades, single sign-on for the cluster using Amazon Cognito, and forward logs to Amazon CloudWatch. In addition, I deployed an application that uses AWS IAM Roles for service Accounts and AWS STS to connect to an Amazon DynamoDB table. Besides, I made an application on OpenShift scalable and resisteant to node failures and upgrades. Finally, I deployed application using CI/CD tooling, including OpenShift GitOps and source-to-image, and use labels for deterministic app placement on nodes. Learned how to use Open Shift Service Mesh for application observability and tracing. You can get the detailed approached used here Hands-on-lab directly.

Result

The outcome of the project was splandid, but I was not successful to use Open Shift Mesh to observe and trace application. You can find below the detailed outcome of my work for this project:

Next Steps

Ideally, I would have preferred to continue working on this project and further correct mistakes to repeat the experience. Unfortunately, due to the conclusion of the contract, I was unable to pursue these improvements.However, I would next like to work on “Enhance LLMs and streamline MLOps using instructLab and KitOps”.
