Overview

The following topics provide high-level, architectural information on core concepts and objects you will encounter when using OKD. Many of these objects come from Kubernetes, which is extended by OKD to provide a more feature-rich development lifecycle platform.

  • Containers and images are the building blocks for deploying your applications.

  • Pods and services allow for containers to communicate with each other and proxy connections.

  • Projects and users provide the space and means for communities to organize and manage their content together.

  • Builds and image streams allow you to build working images and react to new images.

  • Deployments add expanded support for the software development and deployment lifecycle.

  • Routes announce your service to the world.

  • Templates allow for many objects to be created at once based on customized parameters.
