What Is OpenShift?
OpenShift is a cloud development Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) developed by open-source provider Red Hat. The main concept used behind OpenShift is Virtualization. The developers of OpenShift consider Kubernetes as the Kernel of its distributed platform whereas OpenShift is the distribution. It also enables the manual scaling of containerized applications.
OpenShift Container Platform is generally offered in the cloud. It has support for Node.js, Python, Ruby, Perl, Go, and Java-based applications.
Openshift Docker Image
Opensift provides a platform for deploying and managing the containerized applications. The following is the command used for deploying a new application using an image in Openshift:
oc new-app <Image>
- Here specify the image for you going to use in replacing the <image> and also provide the container instead of new-app and run the command.
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.
