What is OpenShift Container Platform?

OpenShift Container Platform is an enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform developed by Red Hat that allows organizations to build, deploy, and manage containerized applications at scale. It provides tools for developers and IT operations to automate application lifecycle management, streamline development workflows, and ensure security and compliance. OpenShift adds features on top of standard Kubernetes, such as integrated CI/CD pipelines, developer self-service, and robust security controls. It can run on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid solution, making it highly flexible for various deployment needs.
