Red Hat OpenShift Developer II: Building and Deploying Cloud-native Applications [DO288]

OVERVIEW

Design, build, and deploy containerized applications on Red Hat OpenShift.

Red Hat OpenShift Developer II: Building Kubernetes Applications (DO288), teaches you how to design, build, and deploy containerized software applications on a Red Hat OpenShift cluster. Whether you are migrating existing applications or writing container-native applications, you will learn how to boost developer productivity powered by Red Hat® OpenShift, a containerized application platform that allows enterprises to manage container deployments and scale their applications using Kubernetes. 

The skills you learn in this course can be applied using all versions of Red Hat OpenShift, including Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA), Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO), and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. 

This course is based on Red Hat OpenShift 4.14.

Following course completion, you will receive a 45-day extended access to hands-on labs for any course that includes a virtual environment.

Note: This course is offered as a four day in classroom, a five day virtual class or self-paced.
