OpenShift

This mailing list group is for developers who want to discuss how to use OpenShift.

OpenShift is a platform to help you develop and deploy applications to one or more hosts. These can be public facing web applications, or backend applications, including micro services or databases. Applications can be implemented in any programming language you choose. The only requirement is that the application can run within a container. In terms of cloud service computing models, OpenShift implements the functionality of both a Platform as a Service (PaaS) and a Container as a Service (CaaS).

Using OpenShift as a CaaS, you can bring a pre-existing container image built to the Open Container Initiative (OCI) Image Specification (image-spec) and deploy it. The PaaS capabilities of OpenShift build on top of the ability to deploy a container image, by providing a way for you to build in OpenShift your own container image direct from your application source code and have it deployed. The application source code can include a Dockerfile with instructions to build a container image. Or, you can use a Source-to-Image (S2I) builder, which takes your application source code and converts it into a container image for you, without you needing to know how to write instructions for building a container image.

If you are having issues with installing or setting up an OpenShift cluster, use the mailing lists for the OpenShift Origin project. Those lists are monitored by people who are able to help with administration aspects of using an OpenShift cluster.

If you are a user of OpenShift Online and your problems relate to the operation of the OpenShift Online platform, rather than being a developer issue, use the Support link available under the Help menu of the web console for OpenShift Online. Also check out the System Status page for OpenShift Online.

If you are new to OpenShift, ensure you check out the free eBooks which are available.

and the OpenShift interactive learning environment.
