OpenShift Configuration Platform One customer came to us with the order to build an OpenShift platform that works independently of direct Internet access (“AirGapped”). OpenShift is a container platform developed by Redhat based on Kubernetes, which is particularly impressive due to its extensive additional functionality, integrability in companies and operational security. Configurationplatform for OpenShift When setting up OpenShift, integration into a company is a key part of the task. This is independent of the type of OpenShift installation (bare metal, in the cloud, etc.

Rapid Application Development is a software development principle to use pre-given and frequently needed components of a software application to accelerate the software development process massively. These components are for example functions for user authentication and authorization, user management (self-registration of a user, deactivating an account) but also application designs. With the usage of pre-given component, a lot of development tasks are omitted what rapidly accelerates the software development. YOTRON put these development principles one step ahead and uses a Kubernetes-ready Rapid Application Development framework.

Kubernetes native BigData platform with S3 There is a wide range of tools which allows the analysis of BigData, like Hadoop or other NoSQL databases like MongoDB.
