AAI v26.0 Container Deployment

AAI v26.0 Container Deployment is a foundational training course focused on modernizing enterprise workload analytics across OpenShift and Kubernetes environments. In this course, you will explore key capabilities introduced in this architecture: Decoupled Microservice Layouts, Declarative Silent CI/CD Deployment, Production Interactive Setup, Day-2 Topology Updates and Hotfixes, and Safe Environment Decommissioning.

You will see how these updates help organizations eliminate heavy VM management overhead, automate hands-off GitOps pipeline rollouts, integrate hardened off-cluster enterprise databases, and scale microservices with zero downtime.

By the end of this course, you will understand how to deploy and maintain AAI v26.0 in containerized environments, why cloud-native architecture protects SLA tracking, and how these capabilities support administrators, infrastructure engineers, DevOps teams, and platform operators.

Certification

Upon completion, you will receive:

• A certificate validating the course completion
• The AAI Container Deployment Badge

Value: 500 points

By the end of this course, you will be able to leverage five core operational functions to deploy, manage, and scale AAI v.26

• Master Architectural Foundations & Migration Lifecycles: Map the decoupled container layout including FrontEnd Gateways, ConfigTool pods, and dedicated engine connector pods and navigate the 5-stage User Journey from preparation to validation

• Execute Declarative Silent Deployments: Author aai.input.vars.yaml manifests to drive non-interactive, automated installations across GitOps and CI/CD pipelines using ./AAIInstaller.sh install --silent.

• Integrate Production Enterprise Infrastructure: Navigate interactive deployment workflows to link off-cluster data stores (PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server), external OpenSearch clusters, static NFS exports, and custom PKCS12 TLS certificates.

• Perform Day-2 Topology Updates & Image Patching: Scale microservice connectors in-place using ./AAIInstaller.sh update diff matrices, and apply isolated microservice hotfixes using ./AAIInstaller.sh upgrade without impacting persistent storage.

• Automate Cluster Teardown & Decommissioning: Safely decommission releases using ./AAIInstaller.sh uninstall, purging mTLS security secrets and leveraging storage flags (--include-pvs, --include-ns) to reclaim cluster quotas
