Red Hat® OpenShift® Kubernetes Engine provides you with the core functionality of Red Hat OpenShift. It offers a core set of features from Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, such as full access to an enterprise-ready Kubernetes environment and an extensive compatibility test matrix with many of the software elements that you might use in your datacenter. Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine lets you explore the benefits of Red Hat OpenShift in an entry-level solution. The core components of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® CoreOS, Kubernetes, and basic cluster services—all deployed using a fully automated installer—make up the base of every Red Hat OpenShift installation. This process is the foundation of the Red Hat OpenShift experience, which can automate the upgrade and management functions of the platform. Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is built from the most innovative upstream open source projects, and supported by Red Hat.
