Learn OpenShift

OpenShift Overview

In the previous chapter, we briefly covered Container Runtime and Container Runtime Interface basics, followed by what CRI-O is and how it works. Finally, we installed a Kubernetes cluster with CRI-O as a Container Runtime Interface and ran a few simple commands to verify that Kubernetes was working through CRI-O.

This chapter is focused on giving a brief description of OpenShift as a Platform as a Service (PaaS) Solution. We will describe Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and PaaS clouds. As a part of the PaaS cloud descriptions, we will provide a basic explanation of OpenShift's business value. In this chapter, you will also learn about OpenShift's technical components and available OpenShift variants.
