Red Hat EX380 glossary of automation, integration, OpenShift, and workflow terms.
Use this glossary when Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Automation and Integration (EX380) terms start to blur together. The goal is practical recognition, not encyclopedia coverage.
| Term | Exam meaning |
|---|---|
| oc | OpenShift command-line tool. |

| Route | OpenShift object for exposing services externally. |
| SCC | Security Context Constraint controlling allowed pod security settings. |
| Operator | Kubernetes controller pattern for managing application lifecycle. |

| Pair | How to separate them |
|---|---|
| OpenShift architecture vs Workload management | Ask which layer the scenario is testing, then match the answer to that layer only. |
| Control vs evidence | A control changes behavior; evidence proves behavior or supports investigation. |
| Managed service vs custom build | Managed services win for lower operational effort unless the requirement needs unsupported customization. |
| Prevention vs detection | Prevention blocks or reduces a bad event; detection finds or reports that it happened. |
| Concept knowledge vs task readiness | Concept knowledge explains the right action; task readiness means you can perform and verify it under time pressure. |
Do not memorize terms in isolation. For each term, write one scenario where it is the best answer, one scenario where it is a distractor, and one signal that proves it worked.
