Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

It does help on saving time and avoid the complexity of kubernetes in the enterprise providing a framework that is easier to understand that other alternatives and save you time with the opinionated things that come pre-setup.

It does help by lowering the bar so other people can be involved in the platform as well.

Pros

  • Machine API (at least for VMware)
  • Upgrades are usually smooth and painless
  • Be able to manage the complexity thru a GUI

Cons

  • Better documentation
  • Making some big changes smoother (change from SDN to OVN)
  • Changing UI settings (such as logo)
  • Some features are broken (ldapsync)
  • Positive is being able to create clusters without the added complexity of managing the OS. This reduces the overhead in management per cluster, but not so much on multiclusters for now.
  • Developers can deploy application faster with given guardrails providing safer deployments.
The overhead of Red Hat OpenShift sometimes takes a toll.
We are a Red Hat shop, so it does help to keep the environment consistent and the relationship we have with Red Hat and their support.
