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
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.
