Accelerate cloud-native integration with Red Hat Fuse and Camel, resulting in less development time spent maintaining and designing integration solutions with enterprise patterns.

As a result of taking this course, you will have a strong understanding of fundamental Camel concepts, commonly used Camel components and their configurations, and Camel deployment options. You will also develop a thorough grasp of enterprise integration patterns to solve integration problems.

You will be able to demonstrate these skills:

• Develop Camel routes to integrate systems such as JMS, FTP, Databases, and REST services.
• Filter and transform messages to create integration routes that are highly reliable.
• Develop tests and use mock components to thoroughly test routes.
• Create reliable routes by implementing transactional routes that prevent data loss.
• Deploy Camel routes to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Cloud-native Integration Exam (EX221) tests your abilities to create and maintain enterprise integration services using Camel with Red Hat® Fuse.

An enterprise application developer who becomes a Red Hat Certified Specialist in Cloud-native Integration has demonstrated the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to create and maintain enterprise integration services based on the Red Hat Fuse framework and application programming interfaces (APIs) for Apache Camel.

By passing this exam, you become a Red Hat Certified Specialist in Cloud-native Integration which also counts toward becoming a Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA®).

Red Hat encourages you to consider taking Cloud-native Integration with Red Hat Fuse (AD221) course to help prepare. Attendance in these classes is not required; students can choose to take just the exam.

While attending Red Hat classes can be an important part of your preparation, attending class does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of success.

Many books and other resources on system administration for Red Hat products are available. Red Hat does not endorse any of these materials as preparation guides for exams. Nevertheless, you may find additional reading helpful to deepen your understanding.
