Devops with Openshift: Cloud Deployments Made Easy

For many organizations, a big part of DevOps' appeal is software automation using infrastructure-as-code techniques. This book presents developers, architects, and infra-ops engineers with a more practical option. You'll learn how a container-centric approach from OpenShift, Red Hat's cloud-based PaaS, can help your team deliver quality software through a self-service view of IT infrastructure.

Three OpenShift experts at Red Hat explain how to configure Docker application containers and the Kubernetes cluster manager with OpenShift's developer- and operational-centric tools. Discover how this infrastructure-agnostic container management platform can help companies navigate the murky area where infrastructure-as-code ends and application automation begins.
