Openshift with BMW!!!
Openshift
OpenShift is a cloud development Platform developed by ' Red Hat ' which enables developers to develop and deploy their applications on cloud infrastructure. It is capable of managing applications written in different languages, such as Node.js, Ruby, Python, Perl, and Java. It is very helpful in developing cloud-enabled services. The underlying concept behind OpenShift is based on virtualization.
Benefits of OpenShift platform

Architecture of OpenShift
The architecture of OpenShift is designed in such a way that it can support and manage Docker containers, which are hosted on top of all the layers using Kubernetes. It is a layered system wherein each layer is tightly bound with the other layer. Docker helps in the creation of lightweight Linux-based containers and Kubernetes supports the task of orchestrating and managing containers on multiple hosts and is responsible for Deployment. In any Kubernetes cluster, we can have more than one master and multiple nodes, which ensures there is no point of failure in the setup.
Case study of OpenShift platform in Digital Innovation with BMW Group
The BMW Group wanted a more flexible application infrastructure to provide more agile development and IT operations methodologies.
Using the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, the Group could provide a more secure and stable platform that allowed for container-based deployments. It also allows traditional applications to coexist alongside new, cloud-native, and container-based applications.
The BMW Group can now choose the technology that most closely delivers on its needs at any moment in time.
Conclusion
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform provides an excellent foundation for building a production-ready environment that simplifies the deployment process, provides the latest best practices, and ensures stability by running applications in a highly available environment.
