OpenShift | Fundamentals
OpenShift is an enterprise Kubernetes platform that simplifies containerized applications’ deployment, scaling, and management.
It is developed and maintained by RedHat, a prominent name in open-source software.
OpenShift is designed to streamline the development and operation of container-based applications, making it easier for teams to adopt modern software development practices.
Set up OpenShift on your local machine using Minishift for development and testing.
You can install OpenShift on a cloud provider or on-premises infrastructure for production use.
Containers are lightweight, standalone executable packages that include everything needed to run the software, including the code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings.
Containers offer a consistent environment, making developing, testing, and deploying applications across various environments easier.
OpenShift includes a streamlined developer experience, security enhancements, and integrated tools for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD).
It also includes a web-based dashboard for easier management.
OpenShift can be a game changer for organizations embracing containerization and microservices.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) represents the next generation of single-purpose container operating system technology. It provides the quality standards of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) with automated, remote upgrade features.
RHCOS is supported only as a component of OpenShift Container Platform 4.7 for all OpenShift Container Platform machines.
RHCOS is the only supported operating system for OpenShift Container Platform control plane, or master, machines.
While RHCOS (for master nodes) is the default operating system for all cluster machines, you can create compute machines, also known as worker machines, that use RHEL as their operating system.
RHCOS is designed to deploy on an OpenShift Container Platform cluster with minimal…
