Red Hat’s enterprise Kubernetes platform with extra security, tooling and developer experience.
Red Hat OpenShift, explained
Written by EduVerseWhat it is
Red Hat OpenShift is a Kubernetes platform for companies. It takes Kubernetes and adds a web console, a built-in image registry, build pipelines, routes for exposing apps and stricter security defaults. You work with it through the oc command, which understands everything kubectl does plus the OpenShift extras.
Why teams use it
Large organizations often want Kubernetes in their own data center, with vendor support, safe defaults and everything included. OpenShift delivers that as one supported product, while plain Kubernetes leaves more choosing and assembling to the team. Managed cloud services such as EKS, AKS or GKE are the usual alternative.
An example from work
A container image that runs fine with Docker on your laptop crashes on OpenShift with permission denied while writing to /app/data. OpenShift runs containers under a random non-root user ID by default, so the Dockerfile has to make that directory writable for the root group.
