I recently finished the DO188 Red Hat OpenShift Development I Introduction to Containers with Podman course at WebAsha Technologies and it was worth every minute. The syllabus covered containers, pods, deployments, operators, routes and CI/CD pipelines on OpenShift and Kubernetes in real depth rather than skimming the surface. The study materials and recorded sessions were detailed and easy to revise from. Doubt-clearing sessions ran even after class hours, which I really appreciated. The placement assistance team actively shared openings and guided me until I was placed. The knowledge and confidence I gained here continue to help me every day at work.

DO188 Red Hat OpenShift Development I (Containers with Podman) Course Training Overview

Start your container journey with our Classroom and Online DO188 Training at WebAsha Technologies. Based on RHEL 9, Podman 5 and OpenShift 4.18, this program builds the hands-on container skills validated by the EX188 exam.

Training Overview:

The DO188 training focuses on the foundations of container-based application development: how containers work, running and managing them with Podman, working with images and registries, and building custom images. Real labs prepare you to run, manage and troubleshoot containerized applications.

Intended Audience:

This course is ideal for application developers, DevOps beginners and IT professionals new to containers who want to build a strong foundation before advancing to the OpenShift developer path.

Topics Covered:
  • Understand Containers: Describe how containers facilitate modern application development.
  • Run Containers with Podman: Start, stop, inspect and manage containers using Podman 5.
  • Work with Images: Navigate container registries to find, pull and manage images.
  • Build Custom Images: Write Containerfiles/Dockerfiles and build images to containerize applications.
  • Manage Container Storage & Networking: Handle volumes, ports and container networking basics.
  • Troubleshoot Containers: Inspect logs and diagnose common container issues.
  • Move to OpenShift: Understand how container skills extend to Red Hat OpenShift.
Requirements:

Learners should be comfortable using a Linux terminal and issuing basic operating-system commands. Online participants need a stable internet connection and a laptop/desktop for the hands-on container labs.

Pre-Requisites:

Experience using a Linux terminal, issuing OS commands and basic shell scripting is recommended. Unlike the older developer path, DO188 does not require RHCSA.

Career Benefits:

Container skills are foundational to nearly every cloud-native role. DO188/EX188 opens paths to Application Developer, DevOps Engineer and Container Specialist roles; in India, related roles typically pay ₹5 LPA to ₹20+ LPA as you progress toward OpenShift developer certifications.
