# Introduction

### OpenShift Routes

In OpenShift, there are different types of routes in which you can expose your applications, which are: clear, edge, re-encrypt, pass-through. The clear route is insecure and doesn't require any certifications, as for the rest of the routes, they are encrypted on different levels and require certificates.
