Technical requirements

Software versions

  • Red Hat OpenShift {ocp_version} or later

  • Migration Toolkit for Applications {mta_version} or later

  • Red Hat Developer Lightspeed {rhdls_version} or later

  • Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces (latest)

  • Web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

Environment access

Participants need access to:

  • Red Hat OpenShift cluster (provided during workshop)

  • Migration Toolkit for Applications web console

  • Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces with Developer Lightspeed extension

  • Gitea source code repository

  • LiteLLM AI model endpoint

Network requirements

  • Internet connectivity for AI model access

  • Access to OpenShift cluster APIs and web consoles

  • Gitea repository access for source code management

Environment setup

Pre-workshop checklist

□ OpenShift cluster access confirmed - Test login credentials □ MTA console accessible - Verify URL and authentication □ Dev Spaces workspace created - Confirm Developer Lightspeed extension installed □ Gitea repository accessible - Test repository clone and push □ AI model endpoint configured - Verify LiteLLM connectivity

Setup validation

Participants should verify access to these resources:

# Verify OpenShift CLI access
oc whoami

# Verify cluster connectivity
oc version

# Check MTA API endpoint
curl -k {mta_api_url}/hub

# Test Gitea access
curl -k {gitea_url}

Troubleshooting guide

Common setup issues

Problem: "Cannot access OpenShift console" → Solution: Verify you’re using the correct URL from the workshop environment: https://console-openshift-console.apps.cluster-abc123.ocpv00.rhdp.net

Problem: "MTA console shows authentication error" → Solution: Use OpenShift credentials to log in to MTA. Username: {user}, Password: {password}

Problem: "Dev Spaces workspace won’t start" → Solution: Check OpenShift resource quotas and verify Dev Spaces operator is running

Problem: "Developer Lightspeed extension not responding" → Solution: Verify LiteLLM endpoint is accessible and API key is configured correctly

During workshop support

  • Encourage participants to help each other

  • Use embedded consoles for troubleshooting

  • Instructor can share screen for complex issues

  • Gitea provides version control safety net for code experiments
