Summary

  • Containers differ from VMs by providing only the necessary runtime dependencies, such as the required application-specific libraries for a program to run, rather than a full operating system.

  • Use container images to create container instances. Container instances are executable versions of the image, and include references to networking, disks, and other runtime necessities.

  • Podman is a container engine to build and run containers on an individual host.

  • Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) orchestrate containers across multiple hosts called nodes.

  • RHOCP is a set of modular components and services that are built on top of Kubernetes to add capabilities for the following features:

    • Remote management

    • Multiple tenants

    • Increased security

    • Continuous integration

    • Continuous development
