Finally as Kubernetes is a platform we'll go over a few popular building blocks that use Kubernetes.

[OpenShift](https://www.openshift.com/) is an "enterprise" Kubernetes ([Red Hat OpenShift Overview](https://developers.redhat.com/products/openshift/overview)). Claiming that you don't have Kubernetes because you have OpenShift would be equal to claiming ["I don't have an engine. I have a car!"](https://www.openshift.com/blog/enterprise-kubernetes-with-openshift-part-one). For other options for production-ready Kubernetes see [Rancher](https://rancher.com/), which you might have seen before in this page [https://github.com/rancher/k3d](https://github.com/rancher/k3d), and [Anthos GKE](https://cloud.google.com/anthos/gke), which might also sound familiar. They are all options when you're making the crucial decision between which Kubernetes distribution you want or would you like to use a managed service.

Other options include [Rancher](https://rancher.com/) for production-ready open-source multi-cluster management which you might have seen before on this page [https://github.com/rancher/k3d](https://github.com/rancher/k3d). For more information, see the [intro](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h1TCrh_hZ0&ab_channel=RancherbySUSE), or the [docs](https://rancher.com/docs).

[Anthos GKE](https://cloud.google.com/anthos/gke) - a production-grade solution for the enterprise, might also sound familiar. They are all options when you're making the crucial decision between which Kubernetes distribution you want or whether would you like to use a managed service.

<exercise name='Exercise 5.05: Platform comparison'>

Choose one service provider such as Rancher and compare it to another such as OpenShift.

Decide arbitrarily which service provider is "better" and argue for it against the other service provider.

For the submission a bullet point list is enough.
