= odo core concepts
|
|
|
|
`odo` abstracts Kubernetes concepts into terminology that is familiar to developers:
|
|
|
|
Application::
|
|
A typical application, developed with a link:https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/cloud-native-apps[cloud-native approach], that is used to perform a particular task.
|
|
+
|
|
Examples of _applications_ include online video streaming, online shopping, and hotel reservation systems.
|
|
|
|
Component::
|
|
A set of Kubernetes resources that can run and be deployed separately. A cloud-native application is a collection of small, independent, loosely coupled _components_.
|
|
+
|
|
Examples of _components_ include an API back-end, a web interface, and a payment back-end.
|
|
|
|
Project::
|
|
A single unit containing your source code, tests, and libraries.
|
|
|
|
Context::
|
|
A directory that contains the source code, tests, libraries, and `odo` config files for a single component.
|
|
|
|
URL::
|
|
A mechanism to expose a component for access from outside the cluster.
|
|
|
|
Storage::
|
|
Persistent storage in the cluster. It persists the data across restarts and component rebuilds.
|
|
|
|
Service::
|
|
An external application that provides additional functionality to a component.
|
|
+
|
|
Examples of _services_ include PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and RabbitMQ.
|
|
+
|
|
In `{odo-title}`, services are provisioned from the OpenShift Service Catalog and must be enabled within your cluster.
|
|
|
|
devfile::
|
|
An open standard for defining containerized development environments that enables developer tools to simplify and accelerate workflows. For more information, see the documentation at link:https://devfile.io[].
|
|
+
|
|
You can connect to publicly available _devfile_ registries, or you can install a Secure Registry. |
