Course Overview
The Architecting on OpenShift course covers the fundamentals of building applications for OpenShift and bridges the gap between administering OpenShift and developing containerized micro services.
Students learn to effectively architect their applications by understanding Container and Kubernetes principles and paradigms, specifically on the OpenShift Container Platform 4. In addition, students explore the OpenShift infrastructure and deploy a variety of applications in guided labs. The course also covers how to secure and integrate applications into robust and adaptive solutions.
