Primarily right now we're doing with VMs. We were a Rev customer and migrated our Rev VM workloads to OpenShift virtualization. We also have our eye on the future with container environment, so it fits perfectly into what we were doing now and what we look to do in the future.
Pros
It's a one pane of glass, so when we have Rev only it was a hypervisor for VMs. OpenShift, you can put Ansible in it, you can hook into satellite, it can do with OpenShift AI. You can do AI models and stuff like that. So I think it's more like a Swiss Army knife rather than a fire extinguisher.
Cons
OpenShift virtualization has a little room for improvement. I'm coming from it as a Rev customer. There's some things in that OpenShift virtualization that were in Rev that I would like to see in OpenShift virtualization. I realized that they're chasing the VMware crowd and that's fine, but from us old Rev customers, we'd like to see some things that was in Rev around via migration and things of that nature that could be in OpenShift virtualization, I hope is being planned to be put in.
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited if you are looking to do containers, if you're looking for an easy way to build a container platform, there's so much in it to easily do that. Right now it's not as great as handling VMs with my aforementioned comments about how it can improve. So I would say it's low point right now it's the VMs, but it looks like they're improving. But the high point is always containerization.
It is one of the finest platform as a service platform. we are using this for build & deploy our application for cloud because it makes our application more secure and scalable. It has very low downtime. Customer support is fabulous. It ensure security compliance. Red Hat OpenShift has lots of inbuilt features and service that enhance productivity and scalability. It provide flexibility and more control on our application for better handling.
Pros
Makes app more robust and scalable.
Easy to maintain and has self recovery.
Track & monitor issues and quick notify.
Simple User Interface
Cons
Complex to setup for new user.
Less no of features as compared to other solution available in the market.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well for us to migrating our old application on the cloud for better security and speed. Creating clusters for reducing load and enhancing experience of the application.
We use OpenShift within multiple departments, but in mine specifically (integrated platform engineering) we use it for running pods related to hosting web apps for publication resources, running builds, and creating ephemeral testing environments for kits. We have 2 clusters not currently in production, and are working towards that this year.
Pros
Locked down RHCOS hosting vms
Operators make adding major features easier
Console is good for observability
Cons
Docs for installation are especially rough
Connectivity to LDAP for authentication is complex, especially for such a desirable feature
Cluster install takes too long to be truly ephemeral
Likelihood to Recommend
OpenShift is great for our business cases, where things like security and sign ons are a major concern. We've also automated a bit of the setup ourselves to make it easier. Without the prior experience i have, however, install would be infeasible without dedicated support from RH. I would not recommend for personal / community use
Red Hat OpenShift is an ideal solution which gives unified platform for all kind of workload. Currently seeing the business requirements it is heavily being seen as an alternative for current virtualised platform due to commercials and non flexibility in the offering from legacy platforms.
Pros
Unified platform for Virtualised, containerised and AI workload.
Comprehensive application platform
Consistent across hybrid cloud
Cons
Compatibility with SAP workload
Complexity in setting up the build incase of migration, like network, storage configuration which are done manually can also be automated.
Compatibility with oracle

Red Hat has proven OpenShift as a validated solution as per the customer’s requirements and seeing the current market landscape. It gives flexibility in choosing your own solution and workout based on the workload present in the customer’s current environment.

I use Red Hat OpenShift AI to develop AI solutions within my team It makes it easy to explore, test, and deploy AI solutions quickly. We are trying to create solutions for energy systems, like forecasting and anomaly detection systems. Red Hat OpenShift provides a nice interface o walk me through the steps of creating models for this use-case.
we are using Red Hat OpenShift on top of azure infrastructure to host [...] applications.it allows us to manage ~300 clusters in azure , deal with complex use case and many security and compliance challenges. We are also migrating applications from on premise cluster to asure and we are relying on Red Hat OpenShift to be able to operate thoses clusters.
Pros
machineset management
days2 operator deployment
cluster operator reconciliation
Cons
olm stability
Native progressive node recycle
Remove default worker that are needed for the OCP install

+ Easy way to deploy clusters of many cloud provider + Having RedHat support in case of issue is always something good + Solve many complex challenge : pcii dss , security requirement etc ... + the support of many operator is easing the life of SRE/dev
