Red Hat OpenShift Developer II: Building and Deploying Cloud-native Applications Training in South Africa

Design, build, and deploy cloud-native, containerized applications using Red Hat OpenShift — the industry’s leading enterprise Kubernetes platform.

Red Hat OpenShift Developer II: Building and Deploying Cloud-native Applications (DO288) provides developers with the practical knowledge to create, containerize, and deploy applications in OpenShift environments. You will learn how to automate builds, manage deployments, integrate CI/CD pipelines, and leverage Kubernetes-based orchestration to ensure scalability and reliability.

Whether you are migrating existing applications or developing new microservices, this course enables you to harness the full power of Red Hat OpenShift to accelerate software delivery.

This course is based on Red Hat OpenShift 4.18 and applies to all OpenShift editions, including OpenShift on AWS (ROSA), Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO), and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

This course is designed for:

• Software Developers building or migrating applications to containers.

• Software Architects designing container-native systems and microservices.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Explore developer-focused features within the OpenShift web console.

• Build and publish container images to registries for deployment.

• Manage application builds and deployments through OpenShift.

• Create and deploy multi-container applications using Templates, Helm, and Kustomize.

• Implement health checks for improved reliability and uptime.

• Design and deploy continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines with OpenShift Pipelines (Tekton).

Impact on the Organization

By empowering developers to create cloud-native applications on Red Hat OpenShift, organizations can:

• Accelerate application delivery and shorten time-to-market.

• Improve scalability and reliability through Kubernetes orchestration.

• Streamline DevOps adoption using standardized container workflows.

• Deploy consistently across AWS, Azure, or on-premise OpenShift clusters.

Red Hat OpenShift serves as the foundation for enterprise DevOps transformation, enabling teams to move from monolithic architectures to agile, containerized ecosystems.

Impact on the Individual

By completing this course, you will gain the skills to:

• Design and build container images for your applications.
• Understand how to deploy and manage containers effectively.
• Develop and deploy multi-container workloads.
• Implement health checks for robust and self-healing systems.
• Create automated CI/CD pipelines to streamline delivery.

You will walk away ready to confidently develop and manage production-grade cloud-native applications on Red Hat OpenShift.
