Implementing & Managing an OpenShift Enterprise PaaS
Scott Collier — Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat
Miciah Masters — Software Engineer, Red Hat
Adam Miller — Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat
Steve Reichard — Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat
Vinny Valdez — Principal Architect, Red Hat
Grant Shipley — OpenShift Evangelist, Red Hat
OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat enables administrators to quickly serve application developer customers by deploying a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure that streamlines the application service delivery process. OpenShift Enterprise does this in a highly-efficient, fine-grained, multi-tenant cloud architecture that maximizes infrastructure utilization. This enables developers to quickly focus on what matters to them: writing code.
Join us for an in-depth, 2-hour lab focusing on the system administration of OpenShift Enterprise and touching on the deployment of a PaaS application. This detailed and interactive lab will be assisted by the very friendly developers, engineers, and consultants working on OpenShift.
After an overview of OpenShift Enterprise, participants will each deploy his/her own basic PaaS in a configuration that consists of one broker and one node. A more advanced configuration consisting of a distributed architecture will be demonstrated and discussed. Using their own configuration, the participants will verify the successful installation. Various administrative actions will be demonstrated, prior to participants exploring them on their own.
The client tools will be installed and configured, allowing attendees to deploy an application either using a command line interface or the web-based console.
Topics: Java development, JBoss Community projects, OpenShift by Red Hat, Red Hat Cloud, Red Hat Consulting, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, Red Hat JBoss Portal Platform
