-What is OpenShift?
- -OpenShift is a container orchestration platform based on Kubernetes.
-It can be used for deploying applications while having minimal management overhead. -
- -
-How OpenShift is related to Kubernetes?
- -It's built on top of Kubernetes while defining its own custom resources in addition to the built ones. -
- -
-True or False? OpenShift is a IaaS (infrastructure as a service) solution
- -False. OpenShift is a PaaS (platform as a service) solution. -
- -## OpenShift - Architecture - -
-What types of nodes OpenShift has?
- -- Workers: Where the end-user applications are running -- Masters: Responsible for managing the cluster -
- -
-Which component responsible for determining pod placement?
- -The Scheduler. -
- -
-What else the scheduler responsible for except pod placement?
- -Application high availability by spreading pod replicas between worker nodes -
- -## OpenShift - Projects - -
-What is a project in OpenShift?
- -A project in OpenShift is a Kubernetes namespace with annotations.
-In simpler words, think about it as an isolated environment for users to manage and organize their resources (like Pods, Deployments, Service, etc.). -
- -
-How to list all projects? What the "STATUS" column means in projects list output?
- -`oc get projects` will list all projects. The "STATUS" column can be used to see which projects are currently active. -

-Explain the following in regards to Federation: - - * Multi Cluster - * Federated Cluster - * Host Cluster - * Member Cluster -
- - * Multi Cluster - Multiple clusters deployed independently, not being aware of each other - * Federated Cluster - Multiple clusters managed by the OpenShift Federation Control Plane - * Host Cluster - The cluster that runs the Federation Control Plane - * Member Cluster - Cluster that is part of the Federated Cluster and connected to Federation Control Plane -

- -* Hard Disks -* SSD -* USB -* Magnetic Tape -
- -
-What is Random Seek Time?
- -The time it takes for a disk to reach the place where the data is located and read a single block/sector. - -Bones question: What is the random seek time in SSD and Magnetic Disk? -Answer: Magnetic is about 10ms and SSD is somewhere between 0.08 and 0.16ms -
- -#### OpenShift - Pods - -
-What happens when a pod fails or exit due to container crash
- -Master node automatically restarts the pod unless it fails too often. -
- -
-What happens when a pod fails too often?
- -It's marked as bad by the master node and temporarly not restarted anymore. -
- -
-How to find out on which node a certain pod is running?
- -`oc get po -o wide` -
- -#### OpenShift - Services - -
-Explain Services and their benefits
- - - Services in OpenShift define access policy to one or more set of pods.
- - They are connecting applications together by enabling communication between them - - They provide permanent internal IP addresses and hostnames for applications - - They are able to provide basic internal load balancing -
- -#### OpenShift - Labels - -
-Explain labels. What are they? When do you use them?
- - - Labels are used to group or select API objects - - They are simple key-value pairs and can be included in metadata of some objects - - A common use case: group pods, services, deployments, ... all related to a certain application -
- -#### OpenShift - Service Accounts - -
-How to list Service Accounts?
- -`oc get serviceaccounts` -
- -#### OpenShift - Networking - -
-What is a Route?
- -A route is exposing a service by giving it hostname which is externally reachable -
- -
-What Route is consists of?
- - - name - - service selector - - (optional) security configuration -
- -
-True or False? Router container can run only on the Master node
- -False. It can run on any node. -
- -
-Given an example of how a router is used
- -1. Client is using an address of application running on OpenShift -2. DNS resolves to host running the router -3. Router checks whether route exists -4. Router proxies the request to the internal pod -
- -#### OpenShift - Security - -
-What are "Security Context Constraints"?
- -From [OpenShift Docs](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.7/authentication/managing-security-context-constraints.html): "Similar to the way that RBAC resources control user access, administrators can use security context constraints (SCCs) to control permissions for pods". -

- -#### OpenShift - Serverless - -
-What is OpenShift Serverless?
- - - In general 'serverless' is a cloud computing model where scaling and provisioning is taken care for application developers, so they can focus on the development aspect rather infrastructure related tasks - - OpenShift Serverless allows you to dynamically scale your applications and provides the ability to build event-driven applications, whether the sources are on Kubernetes, the cloud or on-premise solutions - - OpenShift Serverless is based on the Knative project. -
- -
-What are some of the event sources you can use with OpenShift Serverless?
- - * Kafka - * Kubernetes APIs - * AWS Kinesis - * AWS SQS - * JIRA - * Slack - -More are supported and provided with OpenShift. -

-What is Replication Controller?
- -Replication Controller responsible for ensuring the specified number of pods is running at all times.
-If more pods are running than needed -> it deletes some of them
-If not enough pods are running -> it creates more -
