Administering the WildFly 10 / JBoss® EAP 7 Application Server

This course provides hands-on and in-depth coverage on configuring and managing WildFly 10 and JBoss EAP 7 servers - the latest release in the very popular JBoss® series of application servers. This course incorporates WildFly 10’s new features and changes compared to earlier WildFly releases. EAP 7 is the supported release of the WildFly 10 server.
