Red Hat OpenShift Developer II: Building Kubernetes Applications (DO288)

Red Hat OpenShift Developer II: Building Kubernetes Applications (DO288) develops practical capability in building and deploying Kubernetes applications on OpenShift using container images, builds, deployments, configuration, services, routes, storage, CI/CD, testing, scaling, and troubleshooting.

Learners progress through Cloud-Native Design, Container Images, Containerfiles, Builds, and Registries; Deployments, Configuration, Secrets, Services, Routes, and Application Networking; Persistent Storage, Health Probes, Resources, Scaling, and Application Security; CI/CD, Testing, Rollouts, Observability, Troubleshooting, and Delivery. Each stage connects Red Hat technology with implementation decisions, operational controls, troubleshooting, and reviewable evidence.

The learning journey follows an application team packaging and delivering a production-ready service through OpenShift-native development workflows and produces a practical containerized application repository, OpenShift manifests, test evidence, and delivery pipeline design for implementation and operational use.

What You Will Learn

• Map cloud-native application design for OpenShift across architecture, roles, dependencies, controls, and evidence.
• Configure secure container images, Containerfiles, builds, and registries with reproducible settings and validated prerequisites.
• Execute deployments, configuration, secrets, services, and routes and interpret outputs, events, logs, and system behavior.
• Diagnose persistent storage and stateful application behavior through targeted checks, traces, and corrective testing.
• Validate health probes, resources, scaling, and security contexts against security, reliability, governance, and acceptance criteria.
• Compare CI/CD integration and controlled rollout strategies alternatives and explain operational and technical trade-offs.
• Document application logs, metrics, and failure diagnosis using repeatable commands, evidence, ownership, and handover notes.
• Improve production delivery validation and developer handover through monitoring, exception handling, automation, and review cycles.
