Mastering OpenShift: Building, Deploying, Securing, and Operating Cloud-Native Applications at Scale
Donald Knutth
Synopsis "Mastering OpenShift: Building, Deploying, Securing, and Operating Cloud-Native Applications at Scale"
Master OpenShift. Build Production-Grade Cloud-Native Platforms with Confidence.OpenShift has become the enterprise standard for running containerized applications at scale. Yet most teams struggle to move beyond basic deployments into secure, automated, resilient, and governable production systems. Mastering OpenShift closes that gap.This comprehensive 13-chapter guide takes you from foundational architecture to advanced platform engineering. You will learn how to design highly available clusters, build and deploy cloud-native workloads, implement robust security and identity controls, automate delivery with pipelines and GitOps, achieve deep observability, scale efficiently, and operate reliable multi-cluster environments across public cloud, private cloud, and bare metal.Written for developers, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, site reliability engineers, cloud architects, and system administrators, this book delivers practical, production-focused knowledge. Every major topic is examined through real engineering considerations: trade-offs, failure modes, security implications, operational best practices, and enterprise governance.Inside you will master:OpenShift architecture and Kubernetes fundamentalsContainer images, workloads, and declarative deploymentsNetworking, Services, Routes, and NetworkPoliciesPersistent storage and stateful application designSecurity, RBAC, Security Context Constraints, and secrets managementOperators and automated platform managementCI/CD with OpenShift Pipelines and GitOpsMonitoring, logging, tracing, and systematic troubleshootingAutoscaling, performance optimization, and capacity planningHigh availability, disaster recovery, and upgrade strategiesMulti-cluster management and hybrid-cloud architecturePlatform engineering and internal developer platformsWhether you are building your first production cluster or evolving a large-scale enterprise platform, Mastering OpenShift gives you the depth, clarity, and practical judgment required to succeed.Stop piecing together fragmented documentation. Start building OpenShift platforms that are secure, observable, automated, and built to last Read more
