What you will learn in this course
WHY THIS COURSE IS A GAMECHANGER: Many organizations choose OpenShift because it builds on Kubernetes and adds enterprise-ready security, developer experience, and operational features. Without understanding how OpenShift extends and differs from Kubernetes, teams often underutilize its power. After this training, you'll be able to confidently build, deploy, and manage applications on OpenShift.
ABOUT THIS COURSE: This course will teach you the essentials of working with Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform. You'll learn how to containerize and deploy applications, manage configurations and secrets, and leverage OpenShift's unique features such as ImageStreams, BuildConfigs, and Routes.
This course covers the fundamental skills needed to understand both containers and OpenShift, and includes hands-on instruction for deploying applications that scale, are fault-tolerant, and align with modern DevOps practices.

Need more than training?
Training is often a first step. Many teams realize they need support beyond the course to make things work in production, speed up the process or bridge short-term bottlenecks..
