Learn OpenShift: Deploy, build, manage, and migrate applications with OpenShift Origin 3.9
by Denis Zuev Aleksey Usov Artemii KropachevGain hands-on experience of installing OpenShift Origin 3.9 in a production configuration and managing applications using the platform you builtKey FeaturesGain hands-on experience of working with Kubernetes and DockerLearn how to deploy and manage applications in OpenShiftGet a practical approach to managing applications on a cloud-based platformExplore multi-site and HA architectures of OpenShift for productionBook DescriptionDocker containers transform application delivery technologies to make them faster and more reproducible, and to reduce the amount of time wasted on configuration. Managing Docker containers in the multi-node or multi-datacenter environment is a big challenge, which is why container management platforms are required. OpenShift is a new generation of container management platforms built on top of both Docker and Kubernetes. It brings additional functionality to the table, something that is lacking in Kubernetes. This new functionality significantly helps software development teams to bring software development processes to a whole new level.In this book, we’ll start by explaining the container architecture, Docker, and CRI-O overviews. Then, we'll look at container orchestration and Kubernetes. We’ll cover OpenShift installation, and its basic and advanced components. Moving on, we’ll deep dive into concepts such as deploying application OpenShift. You’ll learn how to set up an end-to-end delivery pipeline while working with applications in OpenShift as a developer or DevOps. Finally, you’ll discover how to properly design OpenShift in production environments.This book gives you hands-on experience of designing, building, and operating OpenShift Origin 3.9, as well as building new applications or migrating existing applications to OpenShift.What you will learnUnderstand the core concepts behind containers and container orchestration toolsUnderstand Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift, and their relation to CRI-OInstall and work with Kubernetes and OpenShiftUnderstand how to work with persistent storage in OpenShiftUnderstand basic and advanced components of OpenShift, including security and networkingManage deployment strategies and application’s migration in OpenShiftUnderstand and design OpenShift high availability Who this book is forThe book is for system administrators, DevOps engineers, solutions architects, or any stakeholder who wants to understand the concept and business value of OpenShift.
