Containers

OpenShift Container Platform is a cloud-based platform for deploying and managing containerized applications. It is based on the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration system and provides a number of additional features and tools for building, deploying, and managing applications in a cloud environment.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that is designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It can be used to deploy and run applications on a private cloud infrastructure.

K3S is a lightweight Kubernetes distribution that is designed to be easy to install and operate. It is specifically optimized for use on resource-constrained devices such as edge computers, IoT devices, and other environments where a full-fledged Kubernetes cluster may be overkill.

Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that is designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It is composed of a number of components, including nodes (where applications are deployed), pods (the basic deployable units in Kubernetes), and services (which expose pods to external traffic).

A single-node Kubernetes cluster is a configuration in which all of the components of a Kubernetes cluster are run on a single machine. This can be useful for testing and development purposes, or for running small applications in a production environment.

K3S is designed to make it easy to set up and run a single-node Kubernetes cluster, and it includes a number of features to optimize it for use in resource-constrained environments.

SERVICEMESH refers to a dedicated infrastructure layer for facilitating communication and managing interactions between microservices within a distributed application. Microservices are small, independently deployable units of software that work together to form an application. A service mesh provides a centralized and standardized way to handle service-to-service communication, including traffic routing, load balancing, service discovery, security, and observability.
