Application Release Strategies with OpenShift v3

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3 is built around a core of application containers powered by Docker, with orchestration and management provided by Kubernetes, on a foundation of Atomic Host and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. OpenShift Origin is the upstream community project that brings it all together along with extensions, to accelerate application development and deployment.

This reference provides an overview of the features and approaches that can be taken to deploy containerized applications to the OpenShift Container Platform. Through the use of the methodologies described, applications can be released in a manner that reduces or eliminates downtime and enables additional testing strategies to validate success.
