Module 2 - Install and Configure Red Hat Developer Hub

Red Hat Developer Hub is based on the Backstage project for building internal developer portals. This project was donated to the CNCF by Spotify in 2020. Platform engineers can use Red Hat Developer Hub to build internal developer portals. Doing so involves integrating Red Hat Developer Hub with various data sources, cataloging existing software components, infrastructure, and resources, configuring authentication, and more.

In this module you’ll learn how to install and bootstrap an instance of Red Hat Developer Hub with the necessary configuration to kick-start an internal developer portal for a group of developers within an organization - this involves:

  • Installing and configuring Red Hat Developer Hub using the Operator

  • Setting up authentication

  • Integrating with a Git hosting provider

  • Learning how to ensure smooth deployments with zero downtime

  • Configuring role-based access control (RBAC)

Before that though, you’ll learn about the fundamentals of Backstage and Red Hat Developer Hub.
