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.
