Red Hat releases OpenShift developer sandbox to accelerate K8s application development

Red Hat recently released a developer sandbox for Red Hat OpenShift, an OpenShift-based development environment designed to allow enterprises to accelerate the process of Kubernetes-based applications from code to production. The OpenShift sandbox provides developers with a simpler, no-cost way to start building applications with the same infrastructure and tools that will run in the production environment without worrying about configuration issues.

Mithun Dhar, vice president of Red Hat Developer Tools and Projects, said that developers are now under pressure to deliver applications faster while keeping up with the rapidly changing technology environment. The acceleration of digital transformation efforts has driven this to bring new innovations to the market, and the need to revolve around IT modernization and application development is also increasing. Kubernetes is a basic platform for hybrid cloud architecture. By removing barriers for developers to build applications for Kubernetes, Red Hat is enabling developers to accelerate the development process.

The OpenShift Developer Sandbox provides a private OpenShift environment in a shared multi-tenant cluster and is pre-configured with a set of developer tools. The infrastructure and tools are tightly integrated, aiming to provide a secure environment for prototyping or building new applications, adding new services, creating containers from source code or Docker files, etc.

Combined with Red Hat’s developer tools, these new features help developers better respond to the need to increase application speed and further consolidate Red Hat OpenShift as the leading platform for building, deploying, and managing enterprise Kubernetes applications.
