Ready to build cloud native applications? Get a rapid, hands-on introduction to daily life as a developer whose code runs on OpenShift, the open source container application platform from Red Hat. Creating and containerizing your apps for deployment on modern distributed systems can be daunting. With this practical guide, developers will learn how to build, deploy, and manage a multitiered application on OpenShift.

Authors Joshua Wood and Brian Tannous, principal developer advocates at Red Hat, demonstrate how OpenShift speeds application development. With the Kubernetes container orchestrator at its core, OpenShift simplifies and automates the way you build, ship, and run your code. Throughout this book, you’ll learn how to use OpenShift and the Quarkus Java framework to develop and deploy apps using proven enterprise technologies.
