Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift
We use Red Hat OpenShift in our organization to run scalable RESTful Web services which communicate with a mainframe in the backend using IBM ODS. The product addresses the static hardware architecture we have been running the services on until now, and allows us to scale the application to account for user load and volume to keep resource usage and costs low.
Pros
- Easy to use
- Highly configurable
- Platform agnostic
Cons
- More accessible educational courses
- More meaningful errors
- Increased configmap/secret count
- Decreased downtime
- Improved productivity
- Better developer experience
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
RedHat OpenShift can run on-prem and on Azure, meaning we can get support from RedHat from two platforms, despite it being on those different platforms.
