The Community Distribution of Kubernetes that powers Red Hat OpenShift.
Built around a core of OCI container packaging and Kubernetes container cluster management, OKD is also augmented by application lifecycle management functionality and DevOps tooling. OKD provides a complete open source container application platform.

What is OKD?
OKD is a distribution of Kubernetes optimized for continuous application development and multi-tenant deployment. OKD adds developer and operations-centric tools on top of Kubernetes to enable rapid application development, easy deployment and scaling, and long-term lifecycle maintenance for small and large teams. OKD is a sibling Kubernetes distribution to Red Hat OpenShift.
OKD embeds Kubernetes and extends it with security and other integrated concepts. OKD is also referred to as Origin in github and in the documentation.
If you are looking for enterprise-level support, or information on partner certification, Red Hat also offers Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

Standardization through Containerization
Standards are powerful forces in the software industry. They can drive technology forward by bringing together the combined efforts of multiple developers, different communities, and even competing vendors.
Open source container orchestration and cluster management at scale.
Standardized Linux container packaging for applications and their dependencies.
A container-focused OS that's designed for painless management in large clusters.
An open source project that provides developer and runtime Kubernetes tools, enabling you to accelerate the development of an Operator.
A lightweight container runtime for Kubernetes.
Prometheus is a systems and service monitoring toolkit that collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts if some condition is observed to be true.
