A container is an encapsulated process that includes the required runtime dependencies for an application to run.
Containerization addresses the application development challenges around code portability, to aid in consistently running an application from diverse environments.
Containerization also aims to modularize applications to improve development and maintenance on the various components of the application.
When running containers at scale, it becomes challenging to configure and deliver high availability applications and to set up networking without a container platform, such as Kubernetes.
Pods are the smallest organizational unit for a containerized application in a Kubernetes cluster.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) adds enterprise-class functions to the Kubernetes container platform to deliver the wider business needs.
Most administrative tasks that cluster administrators and developers perform are available through the RHOCP web console.
Logs, metrics, alerts, terminal connections to the nodes and pods in the cluster, and many other features are available through the RHOCP web console.
Click CREATE to build all of the virtual machines needed for the classroom lab environment. This may take several minutes to complete. Once created the environment can then be stopped and restarted to pause your experience.
If you DELETE your lab, you will remove all of the virtual machines in your classroom and lose all of your progress.
