Here are the key differences between Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and OpenShift:

AKS is a managed Kubernetes service, while OpenShift is a self-managed Kubernetes distribution, making AKS easier to deploy and manage, while OpenShift gives you more control over the Kubernetes environment.

AKS offers a basic set of features, while OpenShift provides a more comprehensive set of features, including support for multiple container runtimes, a wider range of security features, and more integrations with other Red Hat products.

Pricing for AKS is per node, while OpenShift is priced per cluster. AKS can be more cost-effective for small clusters, while OpenShift can be more cost-effective for large clusters.
