Red Hat OpenShift is a Kubernetes application platform that orchestrates containers and provides additional tooling around the complete lifecycle of applications, from building and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) to monitoring and logging. 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, and automate the build, test, and deployment process. With companies continuing to adopt containerization, OpenShift skills are highly in demand.

By the end of this hour-long hands-on guided project, you will have gained practical OpenShift experience that employers value. You’ll learn how to manage a basic application lifecycle on OpenShift, including how to create and deploy an application from an existing Docker image, scale it according to workload demands, update it to a newer version, and finally rollback the application to a previous version. You will be prepared to apply these skills to your own projects.

To complete this project, you will use a Cloud-based IDE from IBM Skills Network that already has many technologies, including Kubernetes and OpenShift, preinstalled. Also, note that this platform works best with current versions of modern browsers.
