PaaS: OpenShift

An auto-scaling Platform-as-a-Service for developers

Realize the benefits of the cloud—fast. Red Hat’s OpenShift Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) lets developers focus on users and code instead of servers and the stack.

Choice of applications

Use the apps you want. OpenShift supports Java™ EE 6, Ruby, Node.js, PHP, Perl, and Python applications. It also has built-in support for popular middleware components like JBoss®, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and for popular development tools like Maven, Jenkins, and Eclipse.

Freedom from lock-in

OpenShift is built on open source and open standards. So you're never locked-in. Your application remains portable across runtime environments.

Fast sign-up

Getting started with OpenShift is fast, free, and easy. All you need is an email address. After signing up, you're just minutes from being live on the cloud with access to dozens of prebuilt quickstarts on GitHub.
