Workshop: SQL Server 2019 on OpenShift (CTP 2.5)
A Microsoft Course from the SQL Server team
About this Workshop
Welcome to this Microsoft solutions workshop on SQL Server 2019 on OpenShift.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform brings together Docker and Kubernetes, and provides an API to manage these services. OpenShift Container Platform allows you to create and manage containers. From a perspective of SQL Server, OpenShift provides:
- A scalable architecture to deploy containerized applications and data platforms such as SQL Server
- Persistent storage for stateful containers like SQL Server
- Built-in load balancers to abstract application connections to SQL Server
- Built-in high availability for stateful containers like SQL Server
- An ecosystem for Operators to simplify application deployment and manage high availability
In this course you will learn the basics of deployment, connection, query execution, performance, high availability, operators, and Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2019 with OpenShift.
You will interact with an OpenShift cluster using the OpenShift CLI program oc and use the concepts of projects, deployments, pods, labels, PersistentVolumeClaims, and LoadBalancer services as you deploy and use SQL Server on OpenShift.
This README.MD file explains how the workshop is structured, what you will learn, and the technologies you will use in this solution.
The workshop is currently built to support SQL Server on OpenShift 3.11 and uses SQL Server 2019 Preview components. A future version of the course will support OpenShift 4.0 with updates for SQL Server 2019 when it becomes generally available.
NOTE: You're able to complete this workshop without having a prior knowledge of OpenShift, but if you would like to learn more about its features, architecture and management, these materials are available:
- Getting Started with OpenShift
- The OpenShift Architecture
- Try OpenShift for Free with OpenShift Online
Learning Objectives
When you complete this course, you will be able to:
- Understand the basics of deploying SQL Server on an OpenShift cluster.
- Connect and run queries against SQL Server deployed on OpenShift.
- Understand performance capabilities of SQL Server deployed on OpenShift
- Implement High Availability capabilities of SQL Server deployed on OpenShift
- Use an operator to deploy and manage an Always On Availability Group on OpenShift.
Business Applications of this Workshop
- Developers looking to deploy a database container for their applications on OpenShift
- Database Administrators looking to understand how to deploy database platforms like SQL Server in a Kubernetes cluster using OpenShift.
