CRC (CodeReady Containers) is a command-line tool that manages a local virtual machine running an OpenShift 4.x cluster, Microshift, or Podman, optimized for testing and development. It lets developers run a lightweight single-node OpenShift environment on their local workstation.
Use cases
- run a local openshift cluster on my laptop for development
- test openshift applications locally before deploying
- spin up a single-node kubernetes-like cluster in a VM
- try microshift locally for edge development
- develop and test containerized apps with podman in a managed VM
- set up a local openshift 4.x development environment
When to choose
- you need a local OpenShift 4.x or OKD cluster for testing and development
- you want a managed VM with Podman or Microshift on your workstation
- you are developing against OpenShift APIs and need a fast local feedback loop
When to avoid
- you need a production or multi-node OpenShift cluster
- you only need plain containers without Kubernetes (plain Podman or Docker may suffice)
- you are running OpenShift 3.x (use Minishift or CDK instead)
- your machine lacks resources for a local VM
