Red Hat conducted some free Openshift training in my area, however I wasn't able to make it due to having a non-working wifi card in my personal laptop. Can't load the software on a work issued laptop.

...however they were kind enough to pass along a few URLs which I though others might be interested in:

Red Hat Openshift Interactive Learning Portal

https://openshift.katacoda.com

Katacoda - learning for software enginerers (think Docker) all done within a browser

    They have such a small market share in the PAAS atmosphere, its no wonder they're promoting free training:

    Thanks, that katacoda site looks awesome. I'm going to sign up for it and test it.

    So far so good with the katacoda site; I learned some good information about Docker in a hour. Very much looking forward to learning Kubernetes nex.t

    Yes, I keep reading about Containers (Docker and Kubernetes) and how supposedly they will overtake VMs. Not sure what anyone else has heard.

    I know I want to look at using Containers where I work.

    Containers are good for applications (rapid deploys and tear downs) but I'm not sure how much I trust putting infrastructure services on them like DNS, DHCP, and the like. I'm interested to know if anyone on TE can speak to that....

    I doubt it, as there is barely traffic to this sub-forum.

    Linux Questions has dedicated a sub-forum to containers, however there isn't much traffic there either:

    http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-containers-122/

    It wouldn't hurt to ask and see what happens.

    we use openshift v3 enterprise. the nodes and masters (kubernetes) run their own dns services (skydns) and dhcp. we are deploying more and more services as containers.


    i feel it will be like early virtualization days, when we just start virtualizing easier servers, like small app servers, then add database and AD and ldap servers to vm. same will happen with contianers, will run infra services on them.
