About OpenShift Container Engine
OpenShift Container Engine is a minimal configuration of OpenShift Container Platform. Both Engine and Platform are built on the same enterprise Kubernetes core platform, and contain crucial Linux, container runtime, networking, management and security capabilities. While Engine and Platform are fundamentally the same product, OpenShift Container Platform users have access to a broader set of features, including advanced networking, management, and DevOps services capabilities.

To cover the differences in a bit more detail:

- Networking: OpenShift Container Engine includes basic, flat networking capabilities. Users interested in more advanced capabilities such as multi-tenant SDN and OpenShift Service Mesh (including Istio and tracing) are advised to invest in OpenShift Container Platform.
- Management: OpenShift Container Engine includes basic management capabilities through Prometheus monitoring and console logs. Users who require more advanced log management with Elasticsearch and Kibana, or built-in charge-back capabilities should consider OpenShift Container Platform.
- Developer services:OpenShift Container Engine does not provide integrated DevOps services like source-to-image (S2I) for automated container builds, or the Jenkins CI / CD pipelines that are part of OpenShift Container Platform.

OpenShift Container Engine customers can bring their existing networking, management and DevOps services to OpenShift and continue to work with one of our many OpenShift partners providing solutions in these areas. Additionally, OpenShift Container Engine customers can upgrade to Openshift Container Platform if they decide to leverage more of these capabilities over time.

Continuing Kubernetes innovation

OpenShift Container Engine and OpenShift Container Platform deliver the same, trusted Red Hat enterprise Kubernetes experience, differentiated only by their extended feature set. Both provide a consistent, reliable, and CNCF-certified platform to power containerized workloads across hybrid cloud environments. Both are extensible to an expanded set of leading container solutions from our partners, and both are backed with the enterprise support and expertise Red Hat provides.

Ultimately, successful OpenShift deployments should integrate tightly with a customer’s chosen application lifecycle management processes and tools, whether those tools are part of OpenShift or they bring their own.

As more customers adopt OpenShift and look to extend it to a growing number of workloads, we plan to continue innovating both in and around Kubernetes. We will work with both the community and our customers to deliver the same great enterprise Kubernetes solutions, with greater choice and flexibility through OpenShift.
