Earlier quoted context omitted.

OpenShift has existed for a while. There are basically two versions; the original version was like a Heroku competitor. Then about 2 or so years ago, they came out with a new version based on Docker and Kubernetes called OpenShift Origin (OpenShift 3). I bet this is some type of OpenShift 3 offering, but it would be nice to know how it differs from their current offerings.

Disclosure: I work on openshift.io Openshift.io is the end-to-end development environment which is built over the OpenShift PaaS.

Sorry, but you are doing a terrible job of explaining what OpenShift is to outsiders.

OpenShift is a Platform-as-a-Service offering from RedHat. It provides a fully integrated solution to building and deploying applications on Docker and Kubernetes. What makes it a PaaS is that it integrates Jenkins, so you can build images from source and promote them though environments. https://www.openshift.com/

OpenShift is a private cloud offering, so it is something you install and run yourself on your own infrastructure or in a public cloud.

So OpenShift.io is the "battery-included" version that is already installed on a public cloud, managed by RedHat?

Has anyone signed up for the preview? I keep getting "We're sorry, but something went wrong." right after logging in.

I'm stuck in and endless loop of "We need you to provide some additional information in order to continue." and "Email already exists. Log In".

I have an OpenShift account and now I'm shown an "additional action needed" page on login. When i complete it and hit submit, it tells me that email already exists. Not at all pleasant :(

Sorry for the inconvenience! I have reported this issue here: https://github.com/openshiftio/openshift.io/issues/134

So... it's like a poorly explained PaaS which is:

    - An IDE  
    - A platform for running containers
    - A set of productivity and collaboration tools
    - CI service
    - Deployment tools
...all in one?

Really? I'm scratching my head over this one.

I really respect the work RedHat do, but there's this idea of picking one thing and doing it well... but heck, I mean, you can also just do everything as well, and hope one bit or another sticks I guess.

? ...but why would you? How can you expect to offer all of that at any kind of acceptable level of quality?

Why would I pick this up? It feels like if you do, you're basically going to play in some walled garden where the rules might change at any time, and you'll be out in the cold when they do.

Same here, already had an openshift account.

Can someone explain what's new here? Openshift has existed for a while, right? Edit: Thanks. Feels like better wording on the page would have helped. "Online IDE" or something. Or rolling screenshots that show what it does, like Cloud9 has. Or maybe I'm too old to grok all this new cloud terminology.

So if a company chooses openshift.io, then I'm not going to be able to use IntelliJ, NetBeans, emacs, vim, visual studio code, etc.

That'll help attract talent.

I'll see if we can get a fix pushed out for this today/ASAP. The issue currently occurs when you have multiple Red Hat accounts that use the same email address (or a sub-addressed version of the same email address, like "chris@gmail.com" and "chris+123@gmail.com".

Proof for your statement? This sounds like juicy, paranoia-mongering FUD.
