Overview
Control, manage, trace, monitor, and test your microservices with Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh
Openshift created an enterprise-ready, multi-tenant 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 becomes increasingly difficult. Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh comprises three products, Istio, Jaeger, and Kiali that facilitate managing service interaction, provide service tracing, and create a visual representation of communication pathways. This offering is an introduction to Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh that teaches students installation, service monitoring, service management, and service resilience with Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh.
The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Building Resilient Microservices exam (EX328) is included in this offering.

Impact on the organization
Microservice architectures with OpenShift and Service Mesh enable Organizations to improve application resilience and scalability, while decreasing developer overhead. This leads organizations to improved time to market as well as improved insight into their microservice architecture by being able to visualize and trace data flow throughout their applications. These insights can dictate better resource allocation for applications as well as more quickly identifying defects in specific microservices.
Impact on the individual
Students will be able to use the concepts in this course to simplify and more efficiently manage their service interactions. Students will learn how to install and configure Service Mesh to define, monitor, and manage service interaction within their microservice architecture. This course is intended to illustrate the ease of Service Mesh’s “sidecar” approach and to highlight the benefits of service resilience and monitoring that the product provides.
