Docker Datacenter vs OpenShift: What are the differences?

Developers describe Docker Datacenter as "Develop and manage apps at any scale". Docker Datacenter is an integrated solution including open source and commercial software, the integrations between them, full Docker API support, validated configurations and commercial support for your Docker Datacenter environment. On the other hand, OpenShift is detailed as "Red Hat's free Platform as a Service (PaaS) for hosting Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, Node.js, and Perl apps". OpenShift is Red Hat's Cloud Computing Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. OpenShift is an application platform in the cloud where application developers and teams can build, test, deploy, and run their applications.

Docker Datacenter belongs to "Containers as a Service" category of the tech stack, while OpenShift can be primarily classified under "Platform as a Service".
