RedHat Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Automation and Integration Sample Questions:
Configure BackupStorageLocation and VolumeSnapshotLocation
Task Information : Configure OADP/Velero storage locations and confirm they show as Available.
Correct Answer:
See the solution below in Explanation:
Explanation:
* Create a secret for cloud credentials (S3-compatible example)
* oc -n openshift-adp create secret generic cloud-credentials \
* --from-file=cloud=/path/to/credentials
* Velero uses this secret to authenticate to object storage.
* Create/Update the DataProtectionApplication (DPA)
* Apply a DPA CR that defines:
* backupLocations (bucket, endpoint URL, region, etc.)
* snapshotLocations (if using snapshots)
* Verify BackupStorageLocation and SnapshotLocation
* velero backup-location get
* velero snapshot-location get
* Status should be Available, meaning storage config is valid.
==========
Schedule a recurring backup
Task Information : Create a daily backup schedule for namespace orders at 01:00.
Correct Answer:
See the solution below in Explanation:
Explanation:
* Create the schedule
* velero schedule create orders-daily \
* --schedule "0 1 * * *" \
* --include-namespaces orders \
* --snapshot-volumes
* Cron format: minute hour day month weekday.
* Verify schedule exists
* velero schedule get
* Confirm backups are created by the schedule
* velero backup get | grep orders-daily
* Scheduled backups usually have names derived from the schedule.
Export and import a Kubernetes application (YAML export)
Task Information : Export typical app objects from orders and apply them into a new namespace orders- copy.
Correct Answer:
See the solution below in Explanation:
Explanation:
* Export objects to YAML
* oc -n orders get deploy,svc,route,cm,secret -o yaml > orders-app.yaml
* Exports key application resources.
* Create target namespace
* oc new-project orders-copy
* Apply exported YAML
* oc -n orders-copy apply -f orders-app.yaml
* Recreates resources (some fields may need adjustment, like namespaces or immutable fields).
* Validate
* oc -n orders-copy get all
Configure RBAC roles with users and groups
Task Information : Grant edit to group dev-team in namespace payments, and grant view to user auditor1.
Correct Answer:
See the solution below in Explanation:
Explanation:
* Create (or switch to) the project
* oc new-project payments
* Namespace must exist before applying rolebindings.
* Grant edit to the group
* oc -n payments policy add-role-to-group edit dev-team
* Members of dev-team can modify most resources in payments.
* Grant view to a user
* oc -n payments policy add-role-to-user view auditor1
* auditor1 can read resources but not change them.
* Verify rolebindings
* oc -n payments get rolebinding
Create and use client certificates with kubeconfig (CSR flow)
Task Information : Generate a client key/CSR for audit2, approve it, extract the signed cert, and build a kubeconfig using that cert.
Correct Answer:
See the solution below in Explanation:
Explanation:
* Generate private key and CSR
* openssl genrsa -out audit2.key 2048
* openssl req -new -key audit2.key -out audit2.csr -subj "/CN=audit2/O=auditors"
* CN becomes username; O can map to groups in some setups.
* Base64 encode CSR for the API object
* CSR=$(base64 -w0 audit2.csr)
* Kubernetes CSR object expects base64-encoded request data.
* Create the CSR object
* cat < < EOF | oc apply -f -
* apiVersion: certificates.k8s.io/v1
* kind: CertificateSigningRequest
* metadata:
* name: audit2-csr
* spec:
* request: ${CSR}
* signerName: kubernetes.io/kube-apiserver-client
* usages:
* - client auth
* EOF
* Approve the CSR
* oc adm certificate approve audit2-csr
* Approval triggers certificate issuance.
* Extract the signed certificate
* oc get csr audit2-csr -o jsonpath='{.status.certificate}' | base64 -d > audit2.crt
* Produces the client certificate file.
* Build kubeconfig using cert/key
* oc config set-credentials audit2 \
* --client-certificate=audit2.crt --client-key=audit2.key \
* --embed-certs=true --kubeconfig=audit2.kubeconfig
* oc config set-cluster lab \
* --server="$(oc whoami --show-server)" \
* --insecure-skip-tls-verify=true \
* --kubeconfig=audit2.kubeconfig
* oc config set-context audit2 \
* --cluster=lab --user=audit2 --namespace=default \
* --kubeconfig=audit2.kubeconfig
* Creates a kubeconfig that authenticates using client certificates.
* Test
* oc --kubeconfig=audit2.kubeconfig get ns
