Workshop Day 1¶
Day 1: Kabanero and Appsody for Developers and Operators¶
In this first day we'll learn how to use Appsody to run the inner loop of the development and test cycle for a developer, and how these tools can be integrated into your favorite IDE.
We'll also explore how to deploy an application to OpenShift, first manually with Appsody for dev/test purposes, and then using the standard Kabanero Tekton piplines with GitOps as part of a continual test/production cycle.
Our goal for the end of the day is represented below. But, don't worry about it right now, we'll get there together by following the exercises step-by-step.
