Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

Extensively used Red Hat OpenShift to deploy application workloads in containers. OpenShift can be deployed over onpremise (Virtual machines / bare metal) and in Cloud (Private or Public). Also Red Hat offers managed cloud services over AWS, Azure, Google and IBM Clouds where cluster will be managed by Red Hat & respective cloud providers. As customer we just need to manage the workloads. This will reduce burden on managing the OpenShift clusters separately. Using Red Hat OpenShift over around seven years by now. Support perspective, it should be improved a bit.

Pros

  • Core OS
  • Automation with OCP 4
  • GitOps

Cons

  • Support
  • Hybrid Cloud enablement
  • Better operational efficiency
Yes. Application migrated to Red Hat OpenShift throughput is way higher than same application running over VM. It is also based on the way application designed and developed. For a well designed application, we never faced major issues for past seven years by now. Sometimes, developer make some mistakes by placing vulnerable code in build that caused inconvenience. That is why I would say performance is based on both application & Red Hat OpenShift.
When we evaluated PCF, it was just running application as containers. Managing applications and workloads were not that easy. Ecosystem wise PCF was quite small. Just few resources to create and manage. But Red Hat OpenShift was based on K8s, any k8s capabilities' will able to achieve it through Red Hat OpenShift. After 7 years, when we compare Cloud Foundary and OpenShift, Cloud Foundary is not developed much compared to Red Hat OpenShift

Did implementation of Red Hat OpenShift go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Red Hat OpenShift again?

Yes

Get Cloud capabilities at onpremise. Red Hat OpenShift can be deployed over onpremise (Virtual machines / bare metal). Applications running over OpenShift containers can be scaled based on needs. In event of application traffic surge, horizontal pod scaling would help to automatically scale application pods when traffic surges. Only catch here is Red Hat OpenShift should have sufficient worker capacity to support the scaling.
