  • ›Basic Red Hat OpenShift or Kubernetes experience is required, or completion of the Introduction to OpenShift Applications (DO101) course

Who should attend

  • ›System administrators that manage Java application servers
  • ›Developers that create JakartaEE applications
  • ›Automation architects, cloud administrators, and platform engineers that design and automatize the organization’s Java applications infrastructure

Outcomes

Impact on the organisation

Organizations are striving to migrate their JakartaEE applications to different infrastructures, such as public clouds, or containerized environments. In the cloud era, Java is still one of the most used programming languages in the enterprise, and JBoss EAP has evolved to enable organizations to run Java workloads everywhere, being on a virtualized infrastructure, a bare metal installation, a private cloud, a public cloud, or a containerized environment. This course provides an introduction to the latest Red Hat JBoss EAP features, and presents the options to evolve JakartaEE infrastructures by migrating, refactoring, or redeploying the existing applications to different platforms. AD258 helps an organization to decide how to evolve its JakartaEE infrastructure by focusing in three areas: The migration and migration tools to move the applications and the application servers to JBoss EAP 8; The new Elytron security subsystem; Use JBoss EAP on hybrid clouds, with focus on Red Hat OpenShift

Impact on the individual

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to describe the options for installing and managing JBoss EAP environments on different platforms. You learn to analyze the options to migrate to JBoss EAP 8, and to perform the migration by using the migration tools. You will be able to protect deployed applications and the application server by using Elytron, and to deploy and manage Red Hat JBoss EAP 8 in Red Hat OpenShift.
