OpenShift Container Platform is an enterprise-grade declarative state machine that is designed to automate application workload operations based on the upstream Kubernetes project. In Kubernetes, declarative
means that developers can code a configuration for an application or workload without knowing how that application is going to be deployed. OpenShift Container Platform is based on Kubernetes. It includes native support for cluster snapshots, which enable cluster backup and recovery. OpenShift Container Platform gives administrators and developers the tools that they require to deploy and manage applications and services at scale.
