Yesterday, LinuxWorld India arranged an expert session on Kubernetes/Openshift where two experts of the industry Mr Amel Mathai and Daleep Singh Bias have given the live demonstration of Kubernetes/Openshift.
So in this article, I will share what I've learned from yesterday's session:-

OpenShift Container Platform
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform delivers a single, consistent Kubernetes platform anywhere. The platform ships with a user-friendly console to view and manage all your clusters so you have enhanced visibility across multiple deployments. CI/CD, autoscaling pods, high availability, open-source, IDE integration, etc are some of the features of Openshift.
Podman
Podman is a container runtime like docker which uses cross-platform containerization it is like an advanced version of docker and it can run all docker commands.
The Session was great I've learned a lot of new things all thanks to LinuxWorld for organising this session.
