## Our Projects

    
RDO OpenStack

      
OpenStack is a suite of open-source software components designed for providing cloud infrastructure services like compute (e.g. VMs, containers), storage and networking in existing data centres

      
RDO is an OpenStack distribution packaged and tested for CentOS, providing a way to get OpenStack up and running with CentOS at it's base.

      
With RDO, you can also deploy certain OpenStack Services within an OKD cluster

OKD Kubernetes

      
Kubernetes is a collection of software and design patterns to operate applications at scale on top of cloud-like infrastructure.

      
OKD is a very opinionated deployment of Kubernetes that includes modifications and additions to vanilla Kubernetes to provider a greater feature set out of the box and a more robust default security posture

      
There is also an upcoming ecosystem of operators, OKDerators, that provide additional features to your cluster such as storage, virtualisation, service meshes and more.

## Where to start with RDO

OpenStack/RDO is versatile software that can deploy anywhere from small homelabs or virtual environments through to large physical datacentres. Components can be installed on existing systems. The project provides methods of installing easily for PoC/test purposes and guidance for planning and executing larger and more complex deployments

The RDO project group provide packages for RDO/OpenStack built for CentOS.

## Where to start with OKD

With OKD, the entire machine is managed by the Kubernetes cluster, including the operating system. OKD builds on top of CentOS Stream CoreOS, an immutable version of a CoreOS installation ideal for container workloads and automated management. The installation process involves starting machines with a CentOS Stream CoreOS ignition process to bring them into the cluster
