Devops with Openshift: Cloud Deployments Made Easy (Paperback or Softback)

For many organizations, a big part of DevOps’ appeal is software automation using infrastructure-as-code techniques. This book presents developers, architects, and infra-ops engineers with a more practical option. You’ll learn how a container-centric approach from OpenShift, Red Hat’s cloud-based PaaS, can help your team deliver quality software through a self-service view of IT infrastructure.

Three OpenShift experts at Red Hat explain how to configure Docker application containers and the Kubernetes cluster manager with OpenShift’s developer- and operational-centric tools. Discover how this infrastructure-agnostic container management platform can help companies navigate the murky area where infrastructure-as-code ends and application automation begins.

• Get an application-centric view of automation―and understand why it’s important
• Learn patterns and practical examples for managing continuous deployments such as rolling, A/B, blue-green, and canary
• Implement continuous integration pipelines with OpenShift’s Jenkins capability
• Explore mechanisms for separating and managing configuration from static runtime software
• Learn how to use and customize OpenShift’s source-to-image capability
• Delve into management and operational considerations when working with OpenShift-based application workloads
• Install a self-contained local version of the OpenShift environment on your computer
