Cloud-Native Development with OpenShift and Kubernetes

Transitioning to cloud-native architectures can feel overwhelming with the sheer number of technologies involved. Understanding how to manage containerized applications with industry-standard orchestration platforms is essential for modern software development. This course guides you from foundational container concepts to deploying and managing applications on Kubernetes and OpenShift. You will gain the confidence to structure, scale, and monitor cloud-native applications using modern development workflows. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of containerization, pods, services, and cloud-native architecture. - Configure and deploy applications using Kubernetes declarative manifests and resources. - Build and manage applications using OpenShift's developer-friendly workflows and build configurations. - Apply modern GitOps principles to automate and manage application deployments reliably. - Implement basic security practices, resource limits, and auto-scaling configurations for containerized workloads. The course begins with essential terminology and the basics of containerization before moving into hands-on Kubernetes configurations. You will then explore OpenShift's specialized capabilities and learn how to implement modern deployment pipelines through clear, text-based guides and practical configuration examples. This course is designed for software developers, system administrators, and technology enthusiasts who are new to containers and cloud-native development, requiring no prior experience with Kubernetes or OpenShift. Start your journey into cloud-native engineering and learn to deploy applications with confidence.
