What this is
More than eight short courses explain what each product does and where it sits in enterprise infrastructure: container orchestration, automation, hybrid cloud.
One thing should be said plainly: this does not replace RHCSA or RHCE and is a weak signal on a CV. Its value is context, meaning you understand what an employer is talking about when they say OpenShift.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants to find their bearings in the enterprise Linux ecosystem before committing to a certification.

What to watch for
