Modern Application Development with OpenShift

Modern Application Development with OpenShift

An End-to-End Guide to Containers, Kubernetes, DevOps Automation, and Microservices

Building cloud-native applications extends far beyond deploying containers. Modern software systems demand automation, scalability, security, observability, and resilient architectures capable of supporting rapidly evolving business needs. OpenShift provides the enterprise platform for delivering these capabilities at scale.

Modern Application Development with OpenShift explores the advanced practices that transform containerized applications into production-ready cloud-native systems. Building upon OpenShift fundamentals, this book focuses on the tools, workflows, and architectural patterns used by today's DevOps teams, platform engineers, and cloud-native developers.

Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, you'll learn how to automate deployments with GitOps, implement continuous delivery pipelines, build microservices, secure workloads, monitor distributed applications, and operate modern Kubernetes-based environments with confidence.

Inside this book, you'll discover how to:

• Design and build scalable microservices architectures

• Implement GitOps workflows using Argo CD

• Automate software delivery with Tekton Pipelines

• Package and manage applications with Helm charts

• Extend Kubernetes using Operators

• Secure applications with RBAC, policies, and secrets management

• Implement observability with monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing

• Deploy resilient applications across multiple environments

• Optimize performance, scalability, and resource utilization

• Apply enterprise DevOps and cloud-native best practices for production environments

Written for experienced developers, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, solution architects, and cloud professionals, this book bridges the gap between development and operations by demonstrating how modern teams build, deploy, automate, and manage enterprise applications on OpenShift.

Whether you're modernizing legacy systems, adopting microservices, implementing GitOps, or building production-ready Kubernetes platforms, Modern Application Development with OpenShift equips you with the practical knowledge and proven techniques needed to succeed in today's cloud-native landscape.
