What Hacker News says
8 sourcesThe thing with OpenShift (https://github.com/okd-project/okd) is you can set it up, and then run basically one command (oc new-app .) to push almost any app to Kubernetes. All bells and whistles included.
In Kubernetes Is Your Private Cloud> I've never had to do that.
Using OKD (OpenShift Kubernetes Distribution) because I just dealt with this morning:
https://github.com/okd-project/okd/releases - download the MacOS installer and unzip it.
Then try to run it from the command line. Be told that it "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified". This is NOT the "is an app downloaded from the Internet, do you wish to run it?" dialog.
Go to Finder, and double click it. Get the same message.
You have to go to Finder, then right click the app, specifically hit Open (which will open a terminal that will immediately exit), and only now can you run this app in your original terminal.

> [OKD] Features: A fully automated distribution of Kubernetes on all major clouds and bare metal, OpenStack, and other virtualization providers;
Single-node OpenShift 4 requires at least 16GB of RAM and 8 vCPU : https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/single-node-openshift-manufac...
> Single node OpenShift offers both control and worker node capabilities in a single server and provides users with a consistent experience across the sites where OpenShift is deployed, regardless of the size of the deployment.
MicroShift requires 2Gb of RAM on e.g. an ARM64 Raspberry Pi 4 or similar SBC:

In Ask HN: Is Kubernetes the only alternative for being cloud agnostic?Thank you, that is useful, but basically same as "jumping" between branches.
@pronik's reply was spot on, viewing the merge commit, which shows which branches and tags the commit is included in. Example: https://github.com/openshift/okd/commit/e278fba2d8a5aea6b7bd...
In A new public beta of GitHub ReleasesDisclaimer: I work for Red Hat Consulting where my day job is 100% OpenShift.
You're probably using applications and systems which are hosted on OpenShift [0][1]. Second article says we have over 1100 customers which seems low, to me at least. We have OpenShift in a lot of places and you don't realize it (which is how we intend it). A subset of our customers can be found here [2].
I've personally worked on some really interesting systems and projects, successfully faced off against Black Friday, and reached some really interesting scales. But at the end of the day, OpenShift is a Kubernetes distribution [3] with an opinionated install story, an opinionated AppDev story, and the ability to be deployed on-prem, in the public & private clouds, and on VMs or baremetal. The try it on your laptop method can be found here, branded CodeReady
