Mastering OpenShift Development: A Practical Guide to Building, Deploying, and Scaling Cloud-Native Applications with Kubernetes

Modern software development demands more than writing great code-it requires building applications that are portable, scalable, resilient, and ready for production. OpenShift combines the power of Kubernetes with enterprise-grade developer tools, enabling teams to build, deploy, and manage cloud-native applications with confidence.Mastering OpenShift Development is a practical, hands-on guide designed to help developers quickly become productive on the OpenShift platform. Whether you're new to containers or already familiar with Kubernetes, this book provides a structured learning path that takes you from foundational concepts to deploying real-world, production-ready applications.Through step-by-step examples and practical projects, you'll learn how to package applications into containers, deploy workloads, expose services, manage configurations, automate deployments, monitor application health, and scale applications to meet changing business demands.Inside this book, you'll learn how to: Understand the architecture and core components of OpenShiftBuild and package applications using containersDeploy applications with Kubernetes-native workflowsManage projects, namespaces, images, and registriesConfigure networking, services, routes, and ingressWork with ConfigMaps, Secrets, and persistent storageScale applications manually and automatically Monitor application performance and troubleshoot deploymentsBuild practical CI/CD workflows for continuous delivery Apply cloud-native best practices for reliable software deliveryDesigned for software developers, cloud engineers, DevOps practitioners, and technical professionals, this book emphasizes practical implementation over theory, helping you build the skills needed to develop and deploy modern applications in enterprise OpenShift environments.Whether you're preparing for production workloads, modernizing existing applications, or beginning your cloud-native journey, Mastering OpenShift Development provides the knowledge and hands-on experience to build with confidence.
