Foreword
Installing, configuring, and using OpenShift can require you to take several complex steps. Understanding all the necessary steps and acquiring knowledge so that your environment is perfectly installed can take time. With the help of our authors Giovanni (Gigio) Fontana and Rafael Pecora who know the subject, and have years of experience in everything from architecture design to implementation and support, this path can be shortened.
This book contains not only the necessary steps to install, configure, and use OpenShift, but also information and helpful tips, so that everything is perfectly installed.
Giovanni is always loved by everyone around him, and as a perfectionist who enjoys applying himself to complicated tasks; he likes things well done.
Pecora is a prodigy, a true smart guy, and at the same time he is self-taught; he learns things with a level of ease that is unique to him.
