OpenShift Workshop London

Containers are a more lightweight and portable option compared to virtual machines. Allowing our development teams to move fast, deploy software efficiently, and operate at an unprecedented scale. Red Hat provides the leading enterprise container platform to implement fully orchestrated multi-container applications. Through streamlined workflows and validated integrations, Red Hat OpenShift enables efficient application development and deployment.

This workshop is intended to give you a hands-on introduction to OpenShift from the perspective of a developer.
