What is OKD?¶
OKD is a distribution of Kubernetes optimized for continuous application development and multi-tenant deployment

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
