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.

In this lab environment, you will walk through deploying your own OpenShift 4.11 cluster on vSphere. The deployment method walked through uses the 'Installer-Provisioned Infrastructure' method. Once deployed, use some of our linked use cases or carve your path to experience what OpenShift offers.

Systems are at higher risk without a concerted, repeatable application security configuration process. In this lab, you will learn how to build a declarative AWAF policy and achieve OWASP Top Ten (2021) compliance with the BIG-IP OWASP Compliance Dashboard. A complete CI/CD pipeline is used to deploy our AWAF policy to the BIG-IP system using Application Services 3 Extension (AS3) and Ansible.
