Platform as a service (PaaS) is an enabler for software development where a third-party service provider delivers a platform to customers so they can develop, run, and manage software applications without the need to build and maintain the underlying infrastructure themselves.
Most platforms as a service include templates or build packs, which provide an
opinion as to how certain types of applications should be built, typically around the popular 12-factor methodology. This is why PaaS options are often labeled “opinionated” and are best suited for new, greenfield applications.
[
The advent of cloud computing opened the door for companies like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google to pull together the key building blocks required to launch an application into an opinionated platform, with the aim of simplifying many of the trickier and repetitive tasks required to deploy code down to a single command or click of the mouse.

iTWire Monday, 10 May 2021 16:08 New features arrive for Red Hat OpenShift
Shares
OpenShift GitOps and OpenShift Pipelines are now generally available features of the Red Hat OpenShift enterprise Kubernetes platform.
OpenShift GitOps and OpenShift Pipelines help organisations reduce friction between development and operations teams by streamlining application development and deployment across the hybrid cloud, according to Red Hat.
GitOps uses the Git repository as the single source of truth for development and operations teams.
OpenShift GitOps, based on the open source Argo CD project, helps implement GitOps workflows for cluster configuration and application delivery.
It also increases visibility into the state of clusters and applications and optionally corrects deviations from the desired state, helping to achieve consistency across Kuberenetes clusters across a hybrid cloud.
Red Hat OpenShift features help orgs reduce friction between development and operations teams
Red Hat announced the general availability of OpenShift GitOps and OpenShift Pipelines, new features of Red Hat OpenShift.
These capabilities help organizations to further reduce friction between development and operations teams by streamlining application development and deployment across the hybrid cloud.
DevOps methodologies promote a cultural shift by linking the work of development and operations teams into a more unified approach rather than separate silos, helping to bring applications to production more quickly.
But many organizations still struggle in fully converting to DevOps, especially as much of the associated tooling is workflow- or software-specific, leading to disparate approaches across teams.
A tertiary OpenShift tier comes alongside three apps for businesses to build on their Kubernetes-based hybrid cloud strategy
Red Hat has launched an advanced tier of its OpenShift container application platform, with added tools designed to offer a complete Kubernetes stack out-of-the-box. This is in addition to launching three new managed cloud services.
Red Hat’s OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is the foundational layer of OpenShift, allowing customers to run containers across hybrid cloud deployments on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) OS. The OpenShift Container Platform adds developer and operations services, as well as advanced features for app development and modernisation.
