OpenShift = Docker + Kubernetes. OpenShift is an orchestration platform PaaS provided by Red Hat. It is infrastructure-agnostic; you could run it on top of EC2, for example: imagine deploying Docker containers to EC2 instances.
What do we need to run Magnolia? Tomcat, MySQL, Magnolia WAR file. What if I want to add or remove a public instance to a Magnolia install, say in a High Availability scenario? I will need some orchestration machine - this is where OpenShift comes in.
OpenShift uses ActiveMQ to communicate between the orchestration machine ('Broker') and the Nodes.
