Red Hat OpenShift

Red Hat OpenShift is an enterprise Kubernetes platform that provides a consistent hybrid cloud foundation for building, deploying, and scaling containerized applications. OpenShift extends Kubernetes with developer productivity tools, built-in CI/CD pipelines, integrated monitoring and logging, automated cluster management, role-based access control, and security policies. It supports deployments on bare metal, virtual machines, public clouds, and managed OpenShift services (ROSA, ARO, RHOIC). The OpenShift REST API exposes hundreds of Kubernetes and OpenShift-specific resource types organized into API groups for workload management, networking, storage, security, builds, pipelines, and cluster configuration.

Red Hat OpenShift publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Add-ons API, Builds API, Clusters API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Containers, Enterprise, Hybrid Cloud, Kubernetes, and PaaS.

The Red Hat OpenShift catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Red Hat OpenShift’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, engineering blog, signup flow, support, training material, and 16 more developer resources.
