The most optimal way to use Red Hat OpenShift differs from person-to-person and use case-to-use case. Let us help guide you to the Red Hat OpenShift usage model that best supports you and your business needs. This quick two-minute experience will get you started off running.
If you’re new to Red Hat OpenShift and not sure how Red Hat OpenShift fits with your development process, we’ve put together several courses to help you quickly get started on a guided, no-hassle cloud environment.
We recommend you try out our Red Hat OpenShift tutorials to get started.
Ready to move to the next level and deploy an actual application? Our free, self-service, cloud-hosted sandbox will provide you with an actual cluster where you can deploy a sample app or bring your own repo.
We recommend trying out RHD’s pre-configured Developer Sandbox for Red Hat OpenShift environment.
If you’re already using Red Hat OpenShift for your development lifecycle, you can download Red Hat OpenShift to your laptop, deploy it in your public cloud or your own datacenter, or let Red Hat manage it for you.
We recommend that you download Red Hat OpenShift in one of these four available use case forms.
With this e-book, you'll learn to create cloud-native applications with Kubernetes as a runtime platform and manage container and platform interactions. You’ll also learn how to apply configuration patterns to your Kubernetes-based applications, and how to build container images directly within the cluster.
Use the OpenShift Container Platform to build and deploy applications using both containers and orchestration.
Use OpenShift Do (odo), a CLI tool for developers, to manage application components on the OpenShift Container Platform.
Deploy an application from source code contained in a Git repository using a Source-to-Image (S2I) builder using Python.
Use the oc command line tool to determine what resource objects have been created related to your application, and how you can query or update them.
Use the web console or the command-line interface in this exercise to explore OpenShift 4.10, then build and control a cluster.
Red Hat OpenShift provides new tools that can enhance application architectures beyond basic microservices. With Service Mesh (Istio) and Serverless (Knative), Red Hat OpenShift enables new architectural strategies in a codified and supported package.
