as part of this course we will be working with OpenShift 4.20.5.
There are actually no special prerequisites for this course, apart from internet access and a willingness to learn :). All topics are explained as accurately as possible to avoid generating any additional questions. But – if anything is unclear, requires further clarification, or if a new lecture needs to be added, you are more than welcome to leave a comment under the course or contact me directly via private message.
All materials (scripts, deployed applications) are available in the resources under lectures, provided as links to GitLab repositories.
There are two ways to work with OpenShift during the course:
- OpenShift Sandbox, which does not require installing the entire cluster infrastructure on your local machine
- OpenShift Local, where we install the cluster locally on your computer — the system requirements for this option are discussed in the course
Throughout the course, we focus on practical application deployment. We don’t just go through dry examples — we actually deploy real applications written in Python and Java. The applications themselves do not contain complex business logic, as the goal of this course is not to teach programming in these languages, but to learn how to work with OpenShift and containerized applications.
During the learning process, questions will naturally arise, and some topics discussed at a given moment may be difficult to understand. Don’t worry about this — throughout the course, certain topics are intentionally skipped (with a clear note that they will be covered later) in order to focus on other elements first. In the end, everything should come together into a coherent whole and give you the ability to navigate and work confidently with OpenShift.
