Using Astra Trident with Kubernetes (UATWK)

 

Course Overview

In this course, you learn how to install, configure, and use NetApp® Astra Trident™ to manage Kubernetes with NetApp ONTAP® storage. You deploy Astra Trident by using the Trident operator and use the tridentctl and kubectl methods of managing configurations. You configure NFS-backed and iSCSI-backed storage by using Astra Trident and manage Snapshot™ copies, expand volumes, and import non-Astra Trident volumes to become managed volumes. You deploy Astra Trident in a multiple container storage interface (CSI) environment. Written for Kubernetes v1.23.0 and Astra Trident 22.01, this course includes an appendix on how to monitor Astra Trident.

Who should attend

Systems administrator, architect, operator, integration engineer
