Typical Use Cases for OpenShift
The following are the use cases for Openshift:
1. Enterprise Container Orchestration: Openshift is used for the managing the containerized application in the secured manner. You can scale the containerized applications depending on the incoming traffic.
2. Microservices Architecture: Microservices Architecture is mainly sutabile for the microservice applications. Each service in the application is responsible for a specific service. Each service in the application will contact with the each of them by using the HTTP REST APIs or message queues.
3. Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Deployments: Openshift can be deployed on the multi-cloud environments which will increases the agility and cost optimization.
4. Edge Computing: Openshift allows deploying the containers in the edge locations by which you can decrease the latency of the application to the end users which will increase in the performance of the applications.
Difference Between Kubernetes and OpenShift
Containerization is the process of packaging software code along with all of its necessary dependencies, including libraries, frameworks, and other dependencies, into a single, isolated “container.” The purpose of this is to enable consistent movement and operation of the program or application within the container in any environment and on any infrastructure, regardless of the operating system used by those environments or infrastructures.
