Product Details

What is Red Hat OpenShift?

Red Hat® OpenShift® is a unified platform to build, modernize, and deploy applications at scale. It includes an enterprise-ready Kubernetes solution with a choice of deployment and consumption options to meet the needs of the business. OpenShift delivers a consistent experience across public cloud, on-premise, hybrid cloud, or edge architecture. It includes multiple advanced open source capabilities that are tested and integrated with the underlying certified Kubernetes environment, such as Red Hat OpenShift Serverless, Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines, and Red Hat OpenShift GitOps. Red Hat OpenShift gives users the choice of running cloud services or self-managed editions:

Cloud Services Editions
  • Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS: A turnkey application platform that provides a managed Red Hat OpenShift service running natively on Amazon Web Services (AWS) used by organizations to increase operational efficiency, refocus on innovation, and build, deploy, and scale applications.
  • Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift: Red Hat and Microsoft jointly engineer, manage, and support the platform, used by organizations to increase operational efficiency, refocus on innovation, and quickly build, deploy, and scale applications.
  • Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated: A managed Red Hat OpenShift offering on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud.
  • Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud: A managed Red Hat OpenShift cloud service that reduces operational complexity and helps organizations build and scale applications with the security of IBM Cloud.
Why choose Red Hat OpenShift cloud services?
Red Hat OpenShift cloud services automate the deployment and management of Red Hat OpenShift clusters, so organizations can build, deploy and scale applications quickly without having to incorporate and learn new technologies and processes, or manage integrations. It also helps users to:
  • Reduce security & compliance risk through 24x7 global SRE coverage.
  • Limit operational and staffing dependencies attached to particular providers.
  • Reduce integration bottlenecks with repeatability and consistency for multi-cloud deployments.

Self-Managed Editions
Why choose self-managed Red Hat OpenShift?
Red Hat OpenShift self-managed editions provide more control and flexibility over OpenShift deployments. Self-managed editions allow deployment on any private or public cloud, on bare metal, or at the edge. In addition, long-term support provides flexible life cycles providing the option to choose when to upgrade to the next version of Red Hat OpenShift.

Red Hat OpenShift is the best platform for microservices-based modern apps lifecycle management and hosting. [Red Hat OpenShift] is not suited for old windows server virtualization [or if] you have legacy heavy systems. it's also a very convenient playground for developers that want to try microservices architecture features in a user friendly environment

OpenShift is well suited to enterprise organizations that have a high availability requirement for their workloads whether it's on-prem or natively in the Cloud. The best part that is that a single container registry can be used or multiple depending on your specific use-cases. But it's very adaptable to multiple developer tools and platforms, from pipelines, to image handling.

It works great for big organizations for better speed and flexibility. It's also handy if you need your apps to work smoothly on different cloud systems. But if you're a small team with a simple app, or if you don't have a lot of tech experts or a big budget, there might be simpler options that fit better. Also, if your apps don't need to change size a lot or if you're not using lots of different tech at once, a simpler tool could be easier to handle. It all depends on what your team and apps need!

Good support for the product, ease of use , good design for the product, simple, multiple platforms support with most of public clouds and on Prem platform. Supports single node deployment for quick start and poc. People can try stuff and then if like it move to full scale openshift cluster.

Openshift is suitable for microservices-based development environments. In our business, there are sudden peaks in the volumes of trades to be processed. Openshift is suitable as auto-scaling helps our developers focus more on business logic and worry less about infrastructure management. As a heavily regulated industry, Openshift's security features, like RBAC access control and secure containers, help us meet compliance requirements.

Red Hat OpenShift is well suited for containers and container management. It makes running applications in container easier to do. There is also many development features to have an ide in your browser. What is lacking is the VMs and replacing VDI it needs more features like that.

Red Hat OpenShift is best suited for container workloads where High Availability is of utmost importance. Between the high availability and the rolling upgrades, Red Hat OpenShift makes sense to be the top choice for those types of workloads. Red Hat OpenShift makes Kubernetes even easier to manage and administer.

I've seen multiple universities that have quite investments in Red Hat enterprise virtualization. They don't want to go with the VMware route due to the expense. So Red Hat OpenShift virtualization is a natural fit for them in that environment. I've also seen a lot of VMware customers that are not able financially to sustain the cost increases with the product. So they're looking for an alternative. And Red Hat OpenShift virtualization fills that need.

So that's been something we've worked through right as we're migrating a lot of our business applications over. We've got a wide range of them. Some of them are relatively new, we'll say the last five years. Those have migrated without too many issues. We've been able to put those over there, put them in containers and it's been good. We have a handful of applications that are very old and like pre-net old. Not that we do a lot of net development, but those are hard to move over. Right. Primarily because our infrastructure is Linux-based, so we don't have any windows there. So it's been very difficult for us to start migrating some of those right now. We're requiring those teams to upgrade to newer versions of.net before they even consider coming to us and running their workload on our platform.

It will be interesting to see how Openshift Virt supports large-scale VM deployments (> 20,000 VMS). Hubert was originally conceived as a bridge from virtualization to containers, not necessarily as an enterprise virtualization solution. Nevertheless, it's always surprising to see how customers use solutions regardless of their original intent. My gut feeling is that Openshift with Openshift can cover most of our requirements—in the 80% range.

Where you can use it is to transform legacy software into a microservice software. This is where we do the most projects. Most customers have really old systems, so we are doing the full transformation from monolith to microservice and this is really good. It's a brilliant scenario for that.
