Chapter 5. About the Developer perspective in the web console
The OpenShift Container Platform web console provides two perspectives; the Administrator perspective and the Developer perspective.
The Developer perspective provides workflows specific to developer use cases, such as the ability to:
- Create and deploy applications on OpenShift Container Platform by importing existing codebases, images, and dockerfiles.
- Visually interact with applications, components, and services associated with them within a project and monitor their deployment and build status.
- Group components within an application and connect the components within and across applications.
- Integrate serverless capabilities (Technology Preview).
- Create workspaces to edit your application code using Eclipse Che.
Prerequisites
To access the Developer perspective, ensure that you have logged in to the web console.
