Building Resilient Microservices with Istio and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh

Overview

Course description

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

Red Hat Openshift created an enterprise-ready, multi-tenant platform that made deploying and scaling microservice applications efficient and repeatable. But as these architectures become larger and more complex, defining how these services interact with each other becomes increasingly difficult. Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh facilitates managing service interaction, providing service tracing, and creating a visual representation of communication pathways.

Building Resilient Microservice Applications with Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh (DO328) teaches students service monitoring, management, and resilience with Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh.

This course is based on Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 3.1, and Red Hat OpenShift 4.18.

Following course completion, hands-on lab access will remain available for up to 45 days for any live course that includes a virtual environment.

Note: This course is offered as a 3 day in person class, a 4 day virtual class, or is self-paced. Durations may vary based on the delivery. For full course details, scheduling, and pricing, select your location, then “get started” on the right hand menu.
