In this section, you’re going to learn about why you’d want to use OpenShift, how enterprises are utilizing PaaS-based Kubernetes such as OpenShift, and how to get started with a Dev environment right on your local computer with OpenShift, develop and deploy production-ready OpenShift clusters in major cloud providers...
