Introduction and overview of container technology
Describe how containers facilitate application development.

Podman basics
Manage and run containers with Podman.

Container images
Navigate container registries to find and manage container images.

Custom container images
Build custom container images to containerize applications.

Deploy and manage applications on an OpenShift cluster
Deploy applications by using various application packaging methods on an OpenShift cluster and manage their resources.

Publish enterprise container images
Create an enterprise registry and publish container images to it.

Manage builds on OpenShift
Describe the OpenShift build process, in addition to triggering and managing builds.

Customize source-to-image builds
Customize an existing S2I base image and create a new one.

Deploy multi-container applications
Deploy multi-container applications using Helm charts and Kustomize.

Manage application deployments
Monitor application health and implement various deployment methods for cloud-native applications.

Build applications for OpenShift
Create, Deploy and Integrate third-party applications on OpenShift.

Impact on the organization
Containers are a key technology for the configuration and deployment of applications and microservices, and containers and OpenShift have quickly become the de facto solution for agile development and application deployment. Administrators and developers are seeking ways to improve application time-to-market for minimum viable products. This course provides the gateway to organizational and digital transformation by providing an understanding of the potential of DevOps using a container-based architecture. Orchestrated with Kubernetes and OpenShift, a container-based architecture improves application reliability and scalability, while decreasing developer overhead and facilitating continuous deployment.

Impact on the individual
As a result of attending this course, you will understand the fundamental concepts behind containerizing, scaling, deploying, and managing applications on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, which is a containerized application platform that allows enterprises to manage container deployments and scale their applications using Kubernetes.

You should be able to demonstrate these skills:

• Design container images to containerize applications.
• Customize application builds and implement post-commit build hooks.
• Deploy multi-container applications.
• Implement health checks to improve system reliability.
