Prerequisites

Minishift is the developers best option to run RedHat's OpenShift on a local developement workstation.

What is ? This is the Red Hat Container Development Kit - aka the developers

Essentially this is - Kubernetes

We chose a development environment on a Mac laptop

This setup could also be done on a linux VM/laptop or a Windows PC read more how to here from the official docs.

Red Hat Container Development Kit provides a pre-built Container Development Environment based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux to help you develop container-based applications quickly. The containers you build can be easily deployed on any Red Hat container host or platform, including: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, and our platform-as-a-service solution, OpenShift Container Platform 3.
