AD258: Introduction to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8

AD258: Introduction to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8 develops practical capability in JBoss EAP 8 application platform fundamentals including installation, server modes, deployments, resources, security, logging, monitoring, clustering, and operational support.

Learners progress through JBoss EAP 8 Architecture, Installation, Server Modes, and Management Interfaces; Application Deployments, Configuration Model, Datasources, and Messaging; Security, Logging, JVM Management, Transactions, and Clustering Concepts; Monitoring, Backup, Patching, Troubleshooting, and Operational Handover. Each stage connects Red Hat technology with implementation decisions, operational controls, troubleshooting, and reviewable evidence.

The learning journey follows an application operations team standing up a managed JBoss EAP 8 environment for enterprise Java workloads and produces a practical JBoss EAP 8 platform build record, deployment checklist, security baseline, and operations runbook for implementation and operational use.

What You Will Learn

• Compare JBoss EAP 8 architecture and management models alternatives and explain operational and technical trade-offs.
• Document repeatable installation and server-mode configuration using repeatable commands, evidence, ownership, and handover notes.
• Improve application deployment lifecycle and configuration hierarchy through monitoring, exception handling, automation, and review cycles.
• Map datasources, messaging, and enterprise resource integration across architecture, roles, dependencies, controls, and evidence.
• Configure Elytron security and protected management access with reproducible settings and validated prerequisites.
• Execute logging, JVM, transaction, and clustering controls and interpret outputs, events, logs, and system behavior.
• Diagnose runtime monitoring, patching, and backup routines through targeted checks, traces, and corrective testing.
• Validate deployment troubleshooting and operational handover against security, reliability, governance, and acceptance criteria.
