Open Shift is a cloud development Platform as a Service hosted by Red Hat. It’s an open source cloud-based platform used to create, test, and run applications, and finally deploy them on cloud. Open Shift is capable of managing applications written in different languages, such as Node.js, Ruby, Python, Perl, and Java. One of the key features of Open Shift is it is extensible, which helps the users support the application written in other languages.

Its architecture is designed such a way that it can support and manage docker containers which are hosted on top off the layers using kubernetes.
