Training from the Platform Services team

Learning how to build in OpenShift can be hard. We’ve put together a number of resources to help.

OpenShift 101 and 201

The BC Gov Provate Cloud PaaS OpenShift 101 and 201 courses include a theory 'workshop' component, and a practical series of 'lab exercises'. OpenShift 101 is recommended for all new teams joining the platform. OpenShift 201 is a more advanced course for platform users who want to advance their skills in OpenShift.

If the courses fill up, email PlatformServicesTeam@gov.bc.ca - preference is given to recently onboarded teams. If you’re unable to attend a training session, we will soon be offering recordings.

Register for an OpenShift course.
