odo - Fast, Iterative and Simplified container-based application development

Overview

odo is a fast, and iterative CLI tool for container-based application development. It is an implementation of the open Devfile standard, supporting Podman, Kubernetes and OpenShift.

Why use odo?

• Easy onboarding: By auto-detecting the project source code, you can easily get started with odo.
• No cluster needed: With Podman support, having a Kubernetes cluster is not required to get started with odo. Using a common abstraction, odo can run your application on Podman, Kubernetes or OpenShift.
• Fast: Spend less time maintaining your application deployment infrastructure and more time coding. Immediately have your application running each time you save.
• Standalone: odo is a standalone tool that communicates directly with the container orchestrator API.
• No configuration needed: There is no need to dive into complex Kubernetes YAML configuration files. odo abstracts those concepts away and lets you focus on what matters most: code.
• Containers first: We provide first class support for Podman, Kubernetes and OpenShift. Choose your favourite container orchestrator and develop your application.
• Easy to learn: Simple syntax and design centered around concepts familiar to developers, such as projects, applications, and components.
