OpenShift in Action

Enterprise infrastructure has a lot of moving parts, and it's your job to keep everything running smoothly. OpenShift, an innovative enterprise infrastructure management system from RedHat, radically simplifies the day-to-day operation of deploying and maintaining large-scale applications. The OpenShift container management platform (CMP) uses Docker, Kubernetes, and other container-oriented technologies to ease cluster management, scaling, and upgrades. By providing an intuitive shell over established technologies, OpenShift gives you the reliability and stability you need with the ease of use you want. SummaryOpenShift in Action is a full reference to Red Hat OpenShift that breaks down this robust container platform so you can use it day-to-day. Combining Docker and Kubernetes, OpenShift is a powerful platform for cluster management, scaling, and upgrading your enterprise apps. It doesn't matter why you use OpenShift—by the end of this book you'll be able to handle every aspect of it, inside and out! Foreword by Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyContainers let you package everything into one neat place, and with Red Hat OpenShift you can build, deploy, and run those packages all in one place!
