Overview

This course is part of a series of courses that focus on using OpenShift Container Platform to automate a portion of the software delivery pipeline. The course familiarizes participants to a DevOps environment through the use of agile software development methodology, test-driven development, continuous integration, and a standard operating environment through the use of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). During the course, participants also learn about implementing user stories for an existing Java EE application and deploying the application to an OpenShift instance.

This course is based on Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform 3.5.
