OpenShift is a container platform provided by Red Hat, similar to Docker and Kubernetes. In other words, OpenShift can be used to create containers.

Installation Methods

• Installer Provisioned - Builds the entire infrastructure (e.g. networking, firewall, permissions, et cetera)
• User Provisioned (most difficult installation method) - User provides infrastructure (e.g. networking, firewall, permissions, et cetera)
• CodeReady Containers - (easiest installation method) - Typically used to install OpenShfit on a personal PC, which is simply a virtual machine (VM), primarily used for development and testing. This is ephemeral, meaning data is not permanent.
  • Install CodeReady Containers on Linux
  • Install CodeReady Containers on Mac
  • Install CodeReady Containers on Windows
