What are the differences between OpenShift Online, Dedicated, and Container Platform?
OpenShift Online offers managed Kubernetes in the public cloud, while OpenShift Dedicated offers managed, single-tenant Kubernetes clusters. OpenShift Container Platform spans on-premise datacenters, and public and private clouds, providing a consistent environment for applications across any infrastructure where Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® is supported.
How does OpenShift extend Kubernetes?
Running containers in production with Kubernetes requires additional tools and resources, such as an image registry, storage management, networking solutions, and logging and monitoring tools, all of which must be versioned and tested together. Building container-based applications requires even more integration work with middleware, frameworks, databases, and CI/CD tools. OpenShift combines these into a single platform, bringing ease of operations to IT teams while giving application teams what they need to execute. To view all the open source projects OpenShift tests together for a complete container platform, view our tested integrations, or visit our Kubernetes page.
Can I use OpenShift Online, Dedicated, and Container Platform together?
Yes. Many smaller teams use OpenShift Online Starter for development and test, and Online Pro for production workloads; these workloads can later be migrated to OpenShift Dedicated or OpenShift Container Platform clusters. Similarly, customers often use OpenShift Dedicated and Container Platform together for greater hybrid cloud flexibility.
What languages and datastores are available within OpenShift? What about database services?
OpenShift supports hundreds of technologies and third-party integrations. You can check out the full list here.
What’s the easiest way to try OpenShift?
Try OpenShift today with hosted tutorials and playgrounds (best for developers) or an in-browser Test Drive (best for operations).
