Red Hat OpenShift Development I: Introduction to Containers with Podman [DO188]

OVERVIEW

A developer introduction to building and managing containers with Podman for deploying applications on Red Hat OpenShift.

Red Hat OpenShift Development I: Introduction to Containers with Podman (DO188) introduces students to building, running, and managing containers with Podman and Red Hat OpenShift. This course helps students build the core skills for developing containerized applications through hands-on experience. These skills can be applied using all versions of OpenShift, including Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA), Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO), and OpenShift Container Platform.

As a result of attending this course, you will understand the foundations of container-based application development. You will be able to run, manage, and troubleshoot containerized applications. This course is the starting point for the OpenShift developer curriculum and provides the foundation you will need to advance to cloud-native developer courses.

This course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 9, Podman 5 and Red Hat OpenShift® 4.18.

Following course completion, hands-on lab access will remain available for up to 45 days for any live course that includes a virtual environment.

Note: This course is offered as a three day in classroom, a four day virtual class or self-paced.
