IMO OpenShift is RedHat's attempt to embrace extend and extinguish vanilla Kubernetes because it threatens their Enterprise OS domination. The host OS for Kubernetes clusters is mostly irrelevant.
It's like Kubernetes... forked from it, but adds all this other shit while they continue to just say it is Kubernetes under the hood. Technically true, but once you go to the OpenShift you're pretty much locked into RedHat's Kubernetesesque-world.
- hardwaresofton 8y agoOpenShift predates Kubernetes by a bit, and IMO they operate at different levels (OpenShift is "deeper" and overlaps in some spots with Kubernetes). Also, I'm just about 100% sure no one is stupid/brave enough to challenge Kubernetes' current dominance in the container orchestration space right now. Kubernetes is complete enough and not-bad enough to be the defacto choice right now, and I doubt much will change -- plus Google is backing it, along with the CNCF, there are so many companies with a (in)vested interest. I do think Red Hat replicates features that Kubernetes does well and trying to do those things well but they operate at different levels fundamentally -- Openshift is like a bunch of individual components that work together (usually at a lower level than Kubernetes does) and Kubernetes is like one coherent platform that smoothes over all the lower-level stuff (CRI, CSI, C*I)...
- lima 8y agoOpenShift is Kubernetes. A few years ago, they realized that Kubernetes is the future and rebuilt their product on top of it.
