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

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

Building Resilient Microservices with Istio and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh (DO328) is an introduction to Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh that teaches students installation, service monitoring, service resilience, and service security 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.


This course is based on Red Hat OpenShift® Container Platform 4.6 and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 1.1.
