CHAPTER 3. ABOUT OPENSHIFT KUBERNETES ENGINE

As of 27 April 2020, Red Hat has decided to rename Red Hat OpenShift Container Engine to Red Hat
OpenShift Kubernetes Engine to better communicate what value the product offering delivers.

Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is a product offering from Red Hat that lets you use an
enterprise class Kubernetes platform as a production platform for launching containers. You download
and install OpenShift Kubernetes Engine the same way as OpenShift Container Platform as they are the
same binary distribution, but OpenShift Kubernetes Engine offers a subset of the features that
OpenShift Container Platform offers.

3.1. SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES

You can see the similarities and differences between OpenShift Kubernetes Engine and OpenShift
Container Platform in the following table:

3.1.1. Core Kubernetes and container orchestration

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine offers full access to an enterprise-ready Kubernetes environment that is
11
OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 About

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine offers full access to an enterprise-ready Kubernetes environment that is
easy to install and offers an extensive compatibility test matrix with many of the software elements that
you might use in your data center.

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine offers the same service level agreements, bug fixes, and common
vulnerabilities and errors protection as OpenShift Container Platform. OpenShift Kubernetes Engine
includes a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Virtual Datacenter and Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS
(RHCOS) entitlement that allows you to use an integrated Linux operating system with container
runtime from the same technology provider.

The OpenShift Kubernetes Engine subscription is compatible with the Red Hat OpenShift support for
Windows Containers subscription.

3.1.2. Enterprise-ready configurations

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine uses the same security options and default settings as the OpenShift
Container Platform. Default security context constraints, pod security policies, best practice network
and storage settings, service account configuration, SELinux integration, HAproxy edge routing
configuration, and all other standard protections that OpenShift Container Platform offers are available
in OpenShift Kubernetes Engine. OpenShift Kubernetes Engine offers full access to the integrated
monitoring solution that OpenShift Container Platform uses, which is based on Prometheus and offers
deep coverage and alerting for common Kubernetes issues.

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine uses the same installation and upgrade automation as OpenShift
Container Platform.

3.1.3. Standard infrastructure services

With an OpenShift Kubernetes Engine subscription, you receive support for all storage plugins that
OpenShift Container Platform supports.

In terms of networking, OpenShift Kubernetes Engine offers full and supported access to the
Kubernetes Container Network Interface (CNI) and therefore allows you to use any third-party SDN that
supports OpenShift Container Platform. It also allows you to use the included Open vSwitch software
defined network to its fullest extent. OpenShift Kubernetes Engine allows you to take full advantage of
the OVN Kubernetes overlay, Multus, and Multus plugins that are supported on OpenShift Container
Platform. OpenShift Kubernetes Engine allows customers to use a Kubernetes Network Policy to create
microsegmentation between deployed application services on the cluster.

You can also use the Route API objects that are found in OpenShift Container Platform, including its
sophisticated integration with the HAproxy edge routing layer as an out of the box Kubernetes Ingress
Controller.

3.1.4. Core user experience

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine users have full access to Kubernetes Operators, pod deployment
strategies, Helm, and OpenShift Container Platform templates. OpenShift Kubernetes Engine users can
use both the oc and kubectl command line interfaces. OpenShift Kubernetes Engine also offers an
administrator web-based console that shows all aspects of the deployed container services and offers a
container-as-a service experience. OpenShift Kubernetes Engine grants access to the Operator Life
Cycle Manager that helps you control access to content on the cluster and life cycle operator-enabled
services that you use. With an OpenShift Kubernetes Engine subscription, you receive access to the
Kubernetes namespace, the OpenShift Project API object, and cluster-level Prometheus monitoring
metrics and events.

12
 CHAPTER 3. ABOUT OPENSHIFT KUBERNETES ENGINE

3.1.5. Maintained and curated content

With an OpenShift Kubernetes Engine subscription, you receive access to the OpenShift Container
Platform content from the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog and Red Hat Connect ISV marketplace. You can
access all maintained and curated content that the OpenShift Container Platform eco-system offers.

3.1.6. OpenShift Data Foundation compatible

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is compatible and supported with your purchase of OpenShift Data
Foundation.

3.1.7. Red Hat Middleware compatible

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is compatible and supported with individual Red Hat Middleware product
solutions. Red Hat Middleware Bundles that include OpenShift embedded in them only contain
OpenShift Container Platform.

3.1.8. OpenShift Serverless

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine does not include OpenShift Serverless support. Use OpenShift Container
Platform for this support.

3.1.9. Quay Integration compatible

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is compatible and supported with a Red Hat Quay purchase.

3.1.10. OpenShift Virtualization

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine includes support for the Red Hat product offerings derived from the
kubevirt.io open source project.

3.1.11. Advanced cluster management

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is compatible with your additional purchase of Red Hat Advanced Cluster
Management (RHACM) for Kubernetes. An OpenShift Kubernetes Engine subscription does not offer a
cluster-wide log aggregation solution or support Elasticsearch, Fluentd, or Kibana-based logging
solutions. Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh capabilities derived from the open-source istio.io and kiali.io
projects that offer OpenTracing observability for containerized services on OpenShift Container
Platform are not supported in OpenShift Kubernetes Engine.

3.1.12. Advanced networking

The standard networking solutions in OpenShift Container Platform are supported with an OpenShift
Kubernetes Engine subscription. The OpenShift Container Platform Kubernetes CNI plugin for
automation of multi-tenant network segmentation between OpenShift Container Platform projects is
entitled for use with OpenShift Kubernetes Engine. OpenShift Kubernetes Engine offers all the granular
control of the source IP addresses that are used by application services on the cluster. Those egress IP
address controls are entitled for use with OpenShift Kubernetes Engine. OpenShift Container Platform
offers ingress routing to on cluster services that use non-standard ports when no public cloud provider is
in use via the VIP pods found in OpenShift Container Platform. That ingress solution is supported in
OpenShift Kubernetes Engine. OpenShift Kubernetes Engine users are supported for the Kubernetes
ingress control object, which offers integrations with public cloud providers. Red Hat Service Mesh,

13
OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 About

which is derived from the istio.io open source project, is not supported in OpenShift Kubernetes Engine.
Also, the Kourier Ingress Controller found in OpenShift Serverless is not supported on OpenShift
Kubernetes Engine.

3.1.13. OpenShift sandboxed containers

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine does not include OpenShift sandboxed containers. Use OpenShift
Container Platform for this support.

3.1.14. Developer experience

With OpenShift Kubernetes Engine, the following capabilities are not supported:

The OpenShift Container Platform developer experience utilities and tools, such as Red Hat
OpenShift Dev Spaces.

The OpenShift Container Platform pipeline feature that integrates a streamlined, Kubernetes-
enabled Jenkins and Tekton experience in the user’s project space.

The OpenShift Container Platform source-to-image feature, which allows you to easily deploy
source code, dockerfiles, or container images across the cluster.

Build strategies, builder pods, or Tekton for end user container deployments.

The odo developer command line.

The developer persona in the OpenShift Container Platform web console.

3.1.15. Feature summary

The following table is a summary of the feature availability in OpenShift Kubernetes Engine and
OpenShift Container Platform. Where applicable, it includes the name of the Operator that enables a

3.2. SUBSCRIPTION LIMITATIONS

OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is a subscription offering that provides OpenShift Container Platform
with a limited set of supported features at a lower list price. OpenShift Kubernetes Engine and
OpenShift Container Platform are the same product and, therefore, all software and features are
delivered in both. There is only one download, OpenShift Container Platform. OpenShift Kubernetes
Engine uses the OpenShift Container Platform documentation and support services and bug errata for
this reason.
