Chapter 9. Cartridges
9.1. Introduction to Cartridges
Copiar enlaceEnlace copiado en el portapapeles!
Cartridges are the components of an OpenShift Enterprise application and contain the application code to provide the actual functionality required to run applications. Cartridges are available to support various programming languages, databases, monitoring services, and management.
Adding a cartridge to an application provides the desired capability without having to administer or update the included feature. When added to an application, a cartridge is deployed to one or more gears based on its requirements. Cartridges that listen to incoming traffic are placed on one or more gears, while other cartridges can be placed across multiple gears of an application.
9.1.1. Web Framework Cartridges

Web cartridges are available for a variety of programming languages and frameworks, and an application requires at least one web cartridge to listen to HTTP requests. The type of web framework cartridge must be specified when an application is created. Cartridges that listen to incoming traffic are placed on one or more gears, while other cartridges can be placed across multiple gears of an application.
The following web framework cartridges are currently available with OpenShift Enterprise 2:

After an application is created with the required web framework cartridge, a number of add-on cartridges can provide extra functionality and capabilities to applications, such as databases, scheduled jobs, or continuous integration. The following table describes the functionality of the different types of add-on cartridges available with OpenShift Enterprise.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Database | Provide the application with one of several database back ends. Examples include MySQL and PostgreSQL. |
| Monitoring and Management | Provide a range of options for managing and monitoring the application. Examples include the Cron task scheduler, and the Jenkins Client. |
The following add-on cartridges are currently available for OpenShift Enterprise.
