About this Guided Project

Why you should do this Guided Project


Red Hat OpenShift is a leading platform for managing containerized applications in a cloud environment. It provides a secure and scalable infrastructure for deploying and running applications, making it a valuable tool for developers and DevOps professionals. With OpenShift, you can easily deploy, scale, and manage your applications, as well as automate the build, test, and deployment process.


A Look at the Project Ahead

In this guided project, you'll learn the fundamental concepts of OpenShift, and also get hands-on experience with the platform through a series of interactive tasks. This guided project uses the OpenShift CLI oc utility to complete the tasks.

Upon completing the project you will be able to use the oc utility to:
  • deploy an application in OpenShift using docker images
  • scale the application by adding replicas
  • perform a rolling upgrade of the application, and
  • rollback the application deployment to a previous version.
By the end of this hands-on project, you'll have a solid foundation in managing the entire application lifecycle in OpenShift and the confidence to apply what you've learned to your own projects. So don't wait, start learning how to deploy, scale, update, and roll back applications on Red Hat OpenShift today!


What You'll Need

All you need is a recent version of a modern web browser to complete this project. You will be provided with access to a Cloud based-IDE which has all of the required software (e.g. Docker and OpenShift) pre-installed. 



Pre-requisites

While not strictly required, you will find it beneficial if you already have basic familiarity with containers and with container technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.
