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.
