Red Hat Openshift automates the provisioning, management, and scaling of applications, allowing IT teams to focus on other business needs. The platform allows IT teams to develop and run their application with the language and tools of their choice. For this purpose, OpenShift includes pre-created quickstart application templates and also gives IT teams’ access to a private database instance with full control. The platform offers easy deployment capability which reduces the chore of a system administrator of building and deploying containerized applications. In addition to this, OpenShift also allows IT teams to manage the entire development life cycle. The OpenShift platform includes Jenkins for continuous integration and release management. Furthermore, the OpenShift platform offers cloud elasticity by providing automatic horizontal pod scaling as application load increases. This eliminates the need for operations to manually increase the number of application instances.
