Rahti service enables easy deployment, scaling, and management of containerized fault-tolerant apps
Service description
Rahti is container orchestration service. The Rahti service enables you to easily deploy scalable and fault-tolerant applications and make them accessible over the web. Rahti ensures reliable communication between different parts of an application running in the cluster. Rahti provides features like load balancing, high availability and rolling updates for your application. It also provides a set of ready-made templates to set up applications like a database or a web server. Rahti is built on open source and based on a distribution of Kubernetes called OKD. Rahti is a generic platform that can run many different kinds of applications from web servers and databases to complex scientific software stacks, data analysis pipelines and any web applications. In Rahti you manage applications directly. As you will be sharing computing resources with other users, extra security limitations are in place, the most important being that the applications will be run using a non-privileged user.
Technical information
Rahti can be used via the command line either with OpenShift's oc tool or with the kubectl tool from Kubernetes. Certain features specific to OpenShift are only available when using the oc tool. It is recommended to be familiar with Linux, containers and their orchestration before becoming Rahti user.
