Posted on September 26, 2019

Red Hat OpenShift Development I: Containerizing Applications updated to OpenShift Container Platform 4.1

Containers and OpenShift have quickly become the de facto solution for agile development and application deployment. Administrators and developers are seeking ways to improve application time-to-market for minimum viable products. This course provides the gateway to organizational and digital transformation by providing an understanding of the potential of DevOps using a container-based architecture. 

A container-based architecture, orchestrated with Kubernetes and OpenShift, improves application reliability and scalability, while decreasing developer overhead as well as facilitating continuous deployment.  Building on the container foundations set in DO180, DO288 is the first developer-focused OpenShift course.

Red Hat OpenShift Development I (DO288) teaches students how to design, build, and deploy containerized software applications to an OpenShift cluster. This course provides the gateway to organizational and digital transformation by providing an understanding of the potential of DevOps using a container-based architecture and enabling developers to leverage container technology to deploy their applications.

Whether writing container-native applications or migrating existing brownfield applications, this course provides hands-on training to boost developer productivity powered by Red Hat OpenShift for developers, administrators, and site reliability engineers. The final outcome from adopting a container-based architecture should lead toward more efficient development and increased overall productivity.
