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.

there's two points to consider about performance : the key is the performance of the application you deploy on OpenShift (design, development & resource constraints). then, if you properly size your OpenShift platform, you can manage your applications scalability in a very simple and intuitive way, and Openshift performs very well at that.

Self healing capabilities for pods running containerized workloads are a great tool that has completely helped us move away from Docker stand-alone. We considered Docker Swarm and AKS or GKE. But for environments running in a hyper-converged Infrastructure, OpenShift came out on top.
OpenShift is providing us a highly available application layer to keep the apps up and running. In cases of load, we can set auto-scaling options on the application to scale across anytime high loads are encountered. Lots of autoscaling options also provided - like vertical or horizontal scaling.

It has definitely enhanced the performance not only directly but indirectly as well; it has helped in the smooth running of the application and also handled different workloads at the same time. It ensures that the applications work well, consistently, and efficiently. Although it was a bit taxing to learn, now I feel at ease in using it.

When we needed S3 support, we deployed the ODF operator. Initial 3 node deployment didn't give us the performance we needed for our app. Increasing the nodes for ODF was pretty easy and gave us the results we wanted.

No degradation of performance observed while running on Red Hat OpenShift vs running in vm. We use a filesystem that was tuned and designed for high performance application with large scale , surprisingly no performance degradation was seen while running this application on Red Hat OpenShift, scalability is also reasonably good. Though we are yet to test it on full scale environment surprising

We've not been running Red Hat OpenShift long, but I can already tell a big performance difference over our previous Kubernetes clusters. We had several weird issues in Kubernetes that we have not yet seen be an issue in Red Hat OpenShift. That alone made a world of difference to my entire organization.

And as far as integrations and stuff like that, I definitely give it a 10. It hasn't had a significant impact on anything we've integrated it with. I guess the only caveat that I'll put on there is it has a lot of self-healing capabilities built into it, which is great, except I am impatient. So when things start breaking, I start looking into them. And my team jokes that we have this rule of thumb of we have to wait four hours and let Red Hat OpenShift try to do its own thing to fix it before we try to intervene. So that has been tough.

Openshift performance is based on the underlying infrastructure, the K8s design, and the applications' design. Cloud-native applications should have resilience baked in and should not depend on infrastructure resilience. Standard stateful apps may still depend on the underlying infrastructure. It depends on the approach.

Compared to the older legacy systems, Kubernetes itself is a really complex stack. So you have to do the networking things. You have a lot of communications running between parts of the application on different layers and these slow down applications sometimes. But on the other hand, it's okay because we can speed up the deployment or the application deployment itself. We have other benefits, so that's not that negative seven is still fine for us.
