Red Hat Container Adoption Boot Camp for Developers

This course is for developers interested in adopting container technology and wanting to progress in their abilities in developing container-native applications, including microservices. Making this shift involves developing software in tight iterations so that business value can be realized sooner.

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to install, configure, and manage a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster and deploy applications on it.

You should be able to demonstrate these skills:

• Create and manage custom container images.
• Deploy applications to OpenShift Container Platform.
• Develop microservices using MicroProfile and Spring Boot.
• Design container images to containerize applications.
• Customize application builds and implement post-commit build hooks.
• Create a multi-container application template.
• Implement health checks to improve system reliability.
• Implementing unit and integration tests for microservices.
• Use the Config specification to inject data into a microservice.
• Implement fault tolerance in a microservice.
• Perform diagnostics on the cluster.
• Backup and restore critical data for the cluster.
• Manage OpenShift and operating system resources to keep the cluster running efficiently.
• Configure the LDAP security provider.
• Describe and install the Open vSwitch multitenant software-defined networking provider.
