In the previous sections, we covered the powerful cloud abstraction that is provided by Kubernetes and Docker. On the other hand, we hinted in a number of places that in order to use Kubernetes effectively, you have to, among other things, deal directly with Kubernetes object configurations or Docker files. As we wrote before, we would preferably like to have a tool that will abstract those things away from us, make them either happen automatically, or be configured using easy-to-use tools. Here is where OpenShift steps in. OpenShift adds another layer of abstraction on top of Kubernetes, providing it with additional cluster model features, such as builds, or tools, such as web console. As you will see, the layer added by OpenShift makes all the cloud operations very simple and effectively allows you to focus on the development of your code.
