Features and benefits

Scalability

Applications running on penShift Container Platform can scale to thousands of instances across hundreds of nodes in a matter of seconds.

Multicluster federation

Consolidated views of clusters and the use of Kubernetes technologies offer a consistent management layer across on-premises and public clouds.

Persistent storage

Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage allows users to run stateful applications and cloud-native stateless applications

Open source standards

OpenShift Container Platform incorporates Open Containers Initiative (OCI)/Docker-formatted containers and Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)-certified Kubernetes for container orchestration, in addition to other open source technologies.

Container portability

Container images built on the OCI industry standard ensure portability between developer workstations and production OpenShift Container Platform environments.

Self-service provisioning

Developers can quickly and easily create applications on demand from the tools they use most, while Operations retains full control over the entire environment.

Polyglot, multi language support

Developers can use various languages, frameworks, and databases on the same platform.

Integrated CI/CD pipelines

OpenShift Container Platform lets developers reduce manual deployment work to deploy higher quality software for continuous integration and automated tests.

User interfaces

Developers have direct access to a rich set of command-line tools,a multidevice web console, and Eclipse-based IDEs.

Source-to-image deployment

OpenShift Container Platform provides a toolkit and workflow for producing ready-to-run images by injecting source code into a container and letting the container prepare that source code for execution.

Automated installation and upgrades

Automated installation and over-the-air platform upgrades are supported in the cloud with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Azure, and on-premise using vSphere, enStack® or bare metal. Services consumed from the OperatorHub can be deployed fully configured and upgradable with a single operation.

Automation

Streamlined and automated container and application builds,deployments, scaling, health management, and more are standard with OpenShift Container Platform.

Robust ecosystem

An ever-expanding ecosystem of partners provides a wide variety of integrations. These third parties deliver additional storage and network providers, IDE and CI integrations, ISV solutions, and more for use with OpenShift Container Platform.

Run Virtualization from OpenShift as Container-Native Virtualization

OpenShift Virtualization

Container-native virtualization lets developers bring virtual machines (VMs) into containerized workflows by running a virtual machine within a container. By combining these two technologies into a single management platform, organizations take advantage of the simplicity and speed of containers and Kubernetes while still benefiting from the applications and services that have been architected for virtual machines.
