ST294: Using NetApp™ Trident with Kubernetes

Training: NetApp™ - Storage Solutions - Cloud - Linux/Unix - Certifications

NetApp ATP Logo 1-farbig Vektor

Participants receive a practical introduction to the installation, configuration, and use of NetApp™ Trident with Kubernetes. The course covers storage integration via NFS, NVMe/TCP, and iSCSI, management of volumes and snapshots, as well as the use of Trident Protect for backup, restore, and disaster recovery. It also addresses cloud targets such as Azure, AWS™, GCP, and S3, as well as SnapMirror connections between NetApp™ systems.

Objectives:

The workshop ST294 Kubernetes NetApp™ Trident and Trident Protect enables you to:

  • Describe Kubernetes storage concepts
  • Explain how Trident makes managing persistent storage easier, and install Trident in a Kubernetes cluster
  • Configure back ends, storage classes, and persistent volumes to use storage that Trident manages
  • Use Trident to manage common scenarios
  • Install and use Trident Protect to protect Kubernetes applications
  • Protect across clusters by cloning and mirroring applications
  • Monitor Trident by using Prometheus and Grafana
  • Investigate security options to ensure a secure Kubernetes environment

Target audience:

The training ST294 Kubernetes NetApp™ Trident and Trident Protect is targeted at:
  • System Administrators
  • Architects
  • Integration Engineers

Prerequisites:

For successful participation in the course ST294 Kubernetes NetApp™ Trident and Trident Protect basic Linux administration skills are required.

Description:

In the workshop ST294 Kubernetes NetApp™ Trident and Trident Protect you will learn how to install, configure, and use NetApp™ Trident to manage Kubernetes with NetApp™ ONTAP based storage systems. Deploy NetApp™ Trident by using the Trident operator and then use the tridentctl and kubectl methods to manage configurations. Configure NFS-backed, iSCSI-backed, NAS economy-backed, and NVMe-over-TCP (NVMe/TCP) backed storage. Manage Snapshot copies, expand volumes, and import non-NetApp™ Trident volumes to become managed volumes. Install and configure Trident Protect to protect Kubernetes applications by using snapshots and backups. Restore snapshots and backups in place and to new namespaces. Finally, protect applications across clusters by using cloning and asynchronous SnapMirror.
