What is OpenShift?
OpenShift is a cloud development Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) developed by open-source provider Red Hat in 2011. The main concept used behind OpenShift is Virtualization. It is written in Go, Ruby, and Angular JS and has support for Node.js, Python, Ruby, Perl, Go, and Java-based applications. Basically, it helps the user to develop, deploy, and manage container-based applications.

Drawbacks of OpenShift
- Monitoring the network traffic across the components is difficult.

Difference between OpenStack and OpenShift
OpenStack and OpenShift are a type of cloud operating systems. In a single customer application workflow, these platforms can be used simultaneously. Both platforms are used in hybrid cloud environments to build scalable systems. Both platforms are extremely powerful tools used by many large organizations but focus on different aspects. OpenStack has been around longer than OpenShift. Let’s take a look at the comparison of these two tools, OpenStack and OpenShift.
