v1.0.0

OpenShift Origin 1.0 provides powerful tools for development teams to build and manage cloud native applications on top of Docker and Kubernetes. OpenShift offers:

Deploy

• A simple and easy ramp up experience - run OpenShift as a container and try it out before deploying multiple nodes, then use the Ansible installer to spin up a full cluster.
• Run and deploy any application built out of Docker images; set up automated or manual rolling deployments with integrated canary testing; or run your own custom deployment workflows inside your own containers
• A set of reusable building block images for all the major development platforms that leverage best practices for running in a cloud environment
• Integrate with the Kubernetes runtime environment and use health checks, persistent network attached volumes, service discovery, integrated DNS, and a resilient host infrastructure to keep your containers running.
• Benefit from easy container networking by leveraging our integrated software defined networking setup, or use your existing network infrastructure

Develop

• Easily build and rebuild images using Docker or Source-to-Image builds; chain builds together to automatically occur, manage the flow of images from dev to test to production, and integrate external CI systems into your deployment workflows.
• Painless web serving with our integrated router plugins for HAProxy and F5 - one click and your application has a publicly visible DNS name.
• Create reusable application building blocks out of templates that can be deployed to many environments and publish those templates for others to use, or integrate with a config management system

Manage

• Use the oc command line or our integrated Web console to create and manage your applications on Windows, Mac, and Linux
• Secure your environment from end to end with private source builds and image security, fully encrypted server to server communication, easy user integration with external systems, and a customizable policy engine and service accounts for controlling how applications talk to each other.
• As an administrator, create projects and assign flexible security policies and resource usage controls to the teams in your organization. Ensure containers run in secure sandboxes on your cluster or relax those restrictions for specific teams to run high privilege containers.
