Building Resilient Microservices with Istio and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh (DO328)

Course Description

Control, manage, monitor, test, and track microservices with Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh.

In the Building Resilient Microservices with Istio and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh (DO328) course, students learn about installing, monitoring, managing, and resiliency of Red Hat OpenShift® Service Mesh services.

OpenShift designed an enterprise architecture platform that serves many customers, enabling microservices applications to be deployed and scaled efficiently and consistently. However, as architectures grow and become more complex, it is increasingly difficult to define how services interact with each other. Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh comprises three products (Istio, Jaeger, and Kiali) that make it easier to manage interaction between services, track them, and create a visual representation of communication paths.

The course is based on Red Hat OpenShift® Container Platform 4.4 and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 1.1.
