Course Overview
Event-Driven Architecture with Apache Kafka and Red Hat OpenShift Application Services Technical Overview (AD082) by Red Hat is a no-cost, on-demand video course designed for application developers seeking to understand the foundations of event-driven systems. While no specific certification exam is tied directly to AD082, it serves as a foundational stepping stone toward the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Event-Driven Application Development exam (EX482). This technical overview targets roles such as cloud application developers, integration specialists, and microservices architects, who are increasingly in demand as 70% of enterprises adopt event-driven architectures to improve system responsiveness and scalability. The course introduces core concepts including reduced coupling, enhanced resilience, and real-time data processing capabilities essential in modern cloud-native environments.
The course covers key Red Hat technologies including Apache Kafka, Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka, Red Hat OpenShift Service Registry, and the rhoas CLI for OpenShift application services. Through a series of on-demand video demonstrations, learners engage with hands-on scenarios such as connecting a Quarkus-based Java application to managed Kafka and Service Registry instances, managing schema artifacts for message validation, and using service contexts to streamline client connection configurations. Students work within Red Hat’s cloud-based lab environment to complete a real-world project involving the deployment of a streaming application that produces and consumes schema-validated messages, ensuring data integrity across distributed services. These labs provide practical exposure to managed service integration, a critical skill for developing scalable event-driven applications on OpenShift.
Completing AD082 prepares learners for advanced training and certification pathways, particularly the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Event-Driven Application Development (EX482), a credential recognized across industries for validating expertise in Kafka-based application development. Professionals with these skills report average salary increases of 20-25% in cloud-native development roles, reflecting strong market demand. Koenig Solutions supports this learning journey with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official Red Hat courseware, ensuring structured, instructor-led progression.
