OpenShift: reviewed part 1
In this post I'll try to explain why everyone should start using OpenShift. 1. What it is? The paas platform OpenShift is a free and opensource platform from RedHat. With free, meaning actually that you get 3 gears for free. On those nodes (see it as virtual servers), you can do almost everything you want. From running a JBoss Application server, up till a php application or do something with MongoDB. The fact that it is open source makes it even more nice. You can simply download the paas platform and install it in your own small datacenter, taking advantage of all the features the online platform gives you. Simply clicking on the image below will bring you to the download page to install it in your own datacenter.
- It's FREE
- It's OpenSource: So you can download it, and even change it according to your needs
- You can simply add Jenkins as a build server, with one click on a button
- It is ideal for development! Quickly create an application and put it online
- There's no online production version (yet)
- Sometimes there's an outage
- When using a lot of memory, cpu, ..., you might think a small node is not enough.
