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.
