    It would be a good solution for running serverless applications. Because infrastructure setup and maintenance expenses can be avoided, the investment will pay for itself. The time to value is short, allowing IT to respond to business demands quickly. It aided us in customizing security as well as operating a personal project using to autoscale up and down approach. Also, because there isn't much hassle, items can be pushed into production as soon as possible. Simply push a container, create an application, and you're ready to go. But, It is less suited when you have a static machine or need to keep data in some way and do not want to utilize network storage or a database.

    RedHat OpenShift is not only suited for IBM Cloud but can run in ANY cloud. We installed in Azure Cloud, for example. It can also run on Linux servers or a Power 9 machine. It is built for multi-cloud or on-prem environments. IBM support provides such excellent guidance in the installation and configuration that no other product on the market can beat it.

    • Multiclick provisioning of resources makes it super easy to manage pods and deployments. We don't have to maintain code for the same
    • In built security features and customizability ensures that organization wide standards are integrated well into the containers
    • Automated backups, scale ups and fail recovery makes sure of minimal down time

    Cons
    IBM
    • the pricing structure is complicated, and the servers are expensive. I really think they should offer better pricing options and support for more languages
    • sometimes the servers go down, and they take too long to respond to support tickets
    • uploading documents is slow since I have to do it one by one, making the process much longer than it should be

    • I wish it had better compatibility with docker file syntax. We had issues when it couldn't build standard docker files
    • Wish it had better documentation
    • Wish they offered fully supported client libraries for the Openshift API rather than dumping it on a 3rd party

    Consumers can purchase individual components as well as unlocking new bundles with special features and services including the extensive data management governance capabilities of the Automation range. Kubernetes containerizing for effective service implementation and an agile, flexible multi-cloud data program help both utilization expansion and deployment to be improved by this architecture.

    What impresses me most about IBM Cloud Code Engine is the container workload management capability and the Cloud services and dataflow monitoring functionalities. Data security and network security control via IBM Cloud Code Engine is quite excellent and very responsive data integration functions and the first deployment is not very technical.

    We evaluated a number of potential solutions and ultimately chose Red Hat OpenShift because it was compatible with our existing technology. Time and costs savings have been realized throughout the company since we implemented Red Hat OpenShift, and the IT department has been freed up to focus on activities that are more valuable.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • [One] positive is that we have one tool to learn (and a simple one) for all kinds of deployment. We need less people to maintain the system.
    • We have saved a lot of time on trouble shooting. It's clear how it works. It's "just" kubernetes..
