Configure the ForgeRock® Identity Platform (Identity Platform) utilizing the Cloud Deployment Model (CDM).

Lesson One- Managing Multiple Deployment Environments

Plan & prepare for moving the Identity Platform (CDM) Cloud Deployment Model -based deployment from the development or (PoC) Proof of Concept stage into a test, and ultimately a production environment-

• Handle multiple environments with Skaffold profiles and Kustomize
• Schedule for deployment to multiple environments
• Drive from development to other environments utilizing Property Value Substitution

Lesson Two- Preparing Your Environment for Deployment Based on the CDM

Describe the CDM, describe the needs for establish your deployment environment on GKE for CDM, & deploy a fresh cluster based on one of the CDM configuration samples-

• Explain the CDM
• Explain the requirements for creating and setting up the deployment environment for the CDM
• Construct a Kubernetes cluster
• Position the Secret Agent Operator
• Position an ingress controller on the cluster
• Position the certificate manager on the cluster
• Position the monitoring tools on a cluster
• Place your local environment to push Docker images

Lesson Three- Deploying the CDM

Deploy the Identity Platform utilizing the CDM "small" profile-

• Deploy the CDM

Utilize the provided ForgeRock scripts to add monitoring, run benchmarks, & explore the backup and restore tools for the ForgeRock® Identity Platform (Identity Platform). Form your custom base Docker images. Manage Secrets.

Lesson One- Monitoring & Benchmarking Your Deployment

Deploy the Prometheus & Grafana monitoring tools within your deployed cluster & monitor your Kubernetes deployment objects & Identity Platform components. Generate test load & benchmark the deployment (optional)-

• Explain the monitoring infrastructure for the CDM
• Deploy the monitoring tools on a cluster
• Monitor the CDM deployment
• Benchmark the CDM deployment for monitoring (optional)

Lesson Two- Backing Up & Restoring the Identity Platform

Explain how to back up & restore the Identity Platform on a Kubernetes cluster-

• Explain backup and restore with CDM
• Allow scheduled backups, initiate a backup, and export user data

Lesson Three- Building Your Own Base Docker Images

Form your own base Docker image & reference it in the related product's Dockerfile for a CDM or CDk deployment of the Identity Platform with your customizations-

• Outline of building custom base Docker images
• Schedule ForgeRock software for your own base Docker images
• Create your own base Docker images
• Deploy your own base Docker images

Lesson Four- Handling Secrets

Explain and handle secrets for securing access to features deployed with your configuration of the Identity Platform-

• Overview of the forgeops secret generation
• Managing secrets

Migrate the FEC Portal exemplary application to Kubernetes.

Lesson One- General Considerations

Discuss how to migrate an already existing, on-prem deployment to Kubernetes, know about planning the migration, and to secure a production environment-

• Plan the migration
• Production Considerations
• Prepare your environment

Lesson Two- Migrating an On-Prem DS Configuration to Kubernetes

Discuss how to migrate an already existing DS configuration to Kubernetes, & then implement the migration assignments for the provided FEC Portal use case-

• Discuss how you can migrate an already existing DS configuration to Kubernetes
• Migrate the DS configuration & sample user data using the CDK

Lesson Three- Migrating an On-Prem AM Configuration to Kubernetes

Discuss how to migrate an already existing AM configuration to Kubernetes, & then implement the migration tasks for the given FEC Portal use case-

• Discuss how one can migrate an existing AM configuration to Kubernetes
• Migrate an already existing AM configuration to Kubernetes
• Discuss how one can customize the AM web application
• Customize the AM web application during deployment

Lesson Four- Migrating an On-Prem IDM Configuration to Kubernetes

Discuss how to migrate a prior IDM deployment to Kubernetes and implement the migration assignments for the given FEC Portal use case-

• Consult how you can migrate an existing IDM configuration to Kubernetes
• Relocate the configuration from an on-prem IDM to the CDK
• Relocate identity data from a prior version of IDM to Kubernetes

A- To attend the training session you should have an operational Desktops or Laptops with required specification along with good internet connection to access the labs.

A- We would always recommend you to attend the live session to practice & clarify the doubts instantly and get more value from your investment. However, due to some contingency if you have to skip the class Radiant Techlearning would help you with the recorded session of that particular day.  However, those recorded sessions are not meant only for personal consumption and NOT for distribution or any commercial use.
