OpenShift and Kubernetes are both container orchestration, but both of them have different purposes.
Let's explore their differences:
OpenShift includes built-in security policies and controls. Kubernetes requires third-party tools to achieve similar security levels.
OpenShift has native CI/CD capabilities. Kubernetes relies on integrating external CI/CD tools.
OpenShift simplifies deployment with guided workflows. Kubernetes offers flexible deployment options with a steep learning curve.
OpenShift involves licensing fees but offers more bundled features. Although Kubernetes is open-source and free, running costs can mount up.
Choose OpenShift for ease of use and enterprise features. Choose Kubernetes for flexibility and a large community.
