“it is a multi cluster environment where each stage, dev, QA and prod has their own Red Hat OpenShift app cluster managed by an management cluster. This i see is a good way to manage the multi cluster architecture. Also, provide prod like environment for the development community. Not sure about the edge, but we have a public cloud integration.”

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We started using Red Hat OpenShift for our loyalty programs. We are actively looking at other apps to move to Red Hat OpenShift.

Pros

Availability
Scalability
Reliability

Cons

The upgrades are a bit complicated without a TAM

Likelihood to Recommend

Scaling is a huge deal for us since we have rushes over lunch and dinner times. The ability to scale and spin down instances to conserve resources is very helpful for us.

A Review on OpenShift from an Entry-Level Developer.

Rating: 8 out of 10

May 9, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use RH OpenShift to reduce our stores' overall hardware count and save on costs. The business problem is that it's becoming too costly to maintain our physical hardware at 280+ stores, and we know that we can move all of our core services onto OpenShift clusters and reduce the physical hardware count at our stores.

Pros

Containerizing our services.
High-availability and scalability.
Being a cost-effective solution.

Cons

More reliable upgrade path (in terms of security).

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are going to start using Kubernetes or thinking of moving to Kubernetes from a pre-existing solution, you might as well go with OpenShift. You will end up spending less time and money getting your OpenShift solution set up and running compared to doing so with plain Kubernetes. It has been a game-changer for my company, and we will continue to work on OpenShift for the foreseeable future.

Red Hat OpenShift in Retail

Rating: 10 out of 10

May 8, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Red Hat OpenShift in Azure for our order management system at a large US-based retailer with significant e-commerce presence. It is used to coordinate order fulfillment between systems and we are currently planning to move more traditional PaaS-hosted applications in Red Hat OpenShift.

We have been pleased with our Red Hat OpenShift experience so far and look forward to migrating more applications through modernization efforts.

Pros

DevOps
Automated scaling
Security and controls for engineering teams

Cons

Bare metal / ARO feature offering equivalence
More opinionated cluster deployment strategies
GitOps focused strategies

Likelihood to Recommend

I think a lot of the time Red Hat OpenShift gets the short-end of the stick in the overarching Kubernetes community because it is licensed enterprise software. I would love to see more marketing and advertising with the open source community to help drive excitement around the technology and adoption. This would help drive more innovation from the open source community and inevitably more positive evolution cycles overtime.

OpenShift enabling rapid R&D

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

May 6, 2016

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

OpenShift was used to facilitate research and development within the front end development team. It enabled front end developers to quickly create development environments using pre built cartridges without requiring dev ops support.
Previously, developers would have been limited to the languages and tools available to them, which restricted innovation. The speed at which environments can be created has enabled great creativity.

Pros

Pre built cartridges, giving a huge range of software ready to go. Reduces the amount of time required to get up and running.
Integration with GIT was an advantage, cloning the repo and making changes was straight forward.
Speed, creating an environment in minutes, ready to deploy.

Cons

Swapping between different Openshift accounts wasn't as intuitive as I would have imagined, although I doubt that the tool is primarily aimed towards front end developers.

Likelihood to Recommend

OpenShift proved valuable in spinning up environments quickly with specific requirements. This enabled the team to evaluate tools quickly without having to request resources from other departments, develop proof of concept solutions away from our production environment, work collaboratively as part of smaller teams and ultimately to be as creative and innovative as possible.
