Welcome, readers and enthusiasts.😇

Hope this article find you great ,healthy and excited !!🎁😍

Hi, This is Ankit Shukla and I am working as SDET Automation/functional Engineer in Regulatory Reporting Domain. In this article we will talk about Openshift Redhat product.

OpenShift supports the application development lifecycle, provisioning and managing container images and workloads into a total ecosystem.

OpenShift is a powerful platform developed by Red Hat that simplifies the process of deploying, managing, and scaling applications in various industries. It is built on top of Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration system, and offers a comprehensive set of tools and features to streamline the application development and deployment process.

Understanding OpenShift :

OpenShift is like a smart and efficient factory that takes care of the complex machinery behind the scenes while allowing businesses to focus on what they do best: creating and running applications. It provides a user-friendly interface and tools to make the process of deploying applications easier for developers and IT teams.

How OpenShift Works?

  1. Containerization: OpenShift uses containers to package applications along with all their dependencies. Containers are like self-contained, lightweight packages that ensure applications run smoothly across different environments, such as development, testing, and production.
  2. Orchestration: OpenShift leverages Kubernetes to manage and coordinate these containers effectively. Kubernetes automates tasks like scaling, load balancing, and self-healing, ensuring applications remain available and responsive even in challenging situations.
  3. Automation: OpenShift automates various repetitive tasks, reducing the manual effort required for deploying and managing applications. This increases efficiency and minimizes the chances of errors during the deployment process.

Industry Use Case: Retail Application Deployment

Let’s explore how OpenShift can benefit a retail company looking to deploy an e-commerce application.

  1. Simplified Development: With OpenShift, developers can focus on building the application without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. They can package the application into containers, making it easy to reproduce and test the same setup in multiple environments.
  2. Seamless Testing: OpenShift’s ability to manage multiple environments effortlessly allows the testing team to verify the application’s behavior across various stages, ensuring it works flawlessly before reaching customers.
  3. Smooth Deployment: When the application is ready for production, OpenShift’s automated deployment process ensures a smooth and consistent rollout, reducing the chances of unexpected downtime.
  4. Scaling on Demand: During peak shopping seasons, the retail application may experience a surge in traffic. OpenShift can automatically scale the application by adding more containers to handle the increased load, ensuring a responsive shopping experience for customers.
  5. Continuous Monitoring: OpenShift continuously monitors the application’s performance and health, quickly detecting any issues and taking corrective actions to maintain the application’s availability.

As I am beginner and learning about Openshift don't know deep dive about it. I will share detailed Overview of it Once done with hands-on practices.

Thanks for reading the Article.😊
