announced the introduction of the Red
Hat Certificate of Expertise in Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) in

Through
the Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Platform-as-a-Service, Red
Hat is providing enterprises with confidence that their teams possess
the skills necessary to get the most out of their OpenShift
Enterprise environments. The new certification helps tests
candidates' knowledge, skills and ability to create, configure, and

perform real-world tasks typically required in production
environments. In preparation for the exam, Red Hat offers Red Hat
OpenShift Enterprise Administration , a course aimed at helping
customers build their teams' readiness to adopt and use this new
technology.
Since
its introduction in November 2012, OpenShift Enterprise has provided
developers a cloud application platform with a choice of programming
languages, frameworks and application lifecycle tools to enhance an
enterprise's ability to build the applications it needs and have
them run in a cloud architecture. OpenShift Enterprise also provides
a standardized and streamlined developer workflow to provision
quickly, build efficiently and get apps to market faster. With its
unique Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) approach, OpenShift
Enterprise also offers reliable security and multi-tenancy with the
ability to subdivide the operating system instances for efficiency.
