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

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

Red Hat OpenShift created an enterprise-ready, multitenant 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 is increasingly difficult. Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh comprises three products: Istio, Jaeger, and Kiali, facilitating a zero-trust network for managing secure service interactions, providing service tracing, and creating a visual representation of communication pathways.

Course Summary: 

Building Resilient Microservice Applications with Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh (DO328) is a 3-day introduction to Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh that teaches students installation, service monitoring, service resilience, and service security with Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh. 

This course covers:

• Installing Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh on a Red Hat OpenShift cluster
• Applying release strategies by controlling service traffic
• Building service resilience with load balancing and failovers
• Testing service resilience with chaos testing
• Enforcing service security
• Observing, measuring, and tracing network traffic with Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh
