Deploying to OpenShift: A Guide for Busy Developers

by Graham Dumpleton

Overview

Get an in-depth tour of OpenShift, the container-based software deployment and management platform from Red Hat that provides a secure multi-tenant environment for the enterprise. This practical guide describes in detail how OpenShift, building on Kubernetes, enables you to automate the way you create, ship, and run applications in a containerized environment.

Author Graham Dumpleton provides the knowledge you need to make the best use of the OpenShift container platform to deploy not only your cloud-native applications, but also more traditional stateful applications. Developers and administrators will learn how to run, access, and manage containers in OpenShift, including how to orchestrate them at scale.

• Build application container images from source and deploy them
• Implement and extend application image builders
• Use incremental and chained builds to accelerate build times
• Automate builds by using a webhook to link OpenShift to a Git repository
• Add configuration and secrets to the container as project resources
• Make an application visible outside the OpenShift cluster
• Manage persistent storage inside an OpenShift container
• Monitor application health and manage the application lifecycle

This book is a perfect follow-up to OpenShift for Developers: A Guide for Impatient Beginners (O’Reilly).
