Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

Provide storage service on OpenShift. I want to install OpenShift on bare metal using the RHEL kickstart model. I know this is an engineering ask, but it will help a lot with CI/CD and automation.

Pros

  • Excellent console.
  • Certified operators.
  • Keeping up to date with K8s.

Cons

  • Installer could be made better for homelabs/CI/CD.
  • It should be easier to configure the base operators like RHEL Anaconda allows.
  • DNS and DHCP settings section in the installer config to setup certs automatically.
  • Better administration.
  • Has great catalog.
  • Decreased security posture.
