Red Hat OpenShift is a managed Kubernetes distribution that adds developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, and enterprise security on top of Kubernetes. Built for teams managing containerized applications at scale.

OpenShift extends Kubernetes with integrated developer workflows, automated CI/CD via OpenShift Pipelines, built-in container registry, and role-based access control. Runs on-premises, on cloud providers, or as a managed service. Includes Red Hat's certified operators and security scanning.
