Red Hat OpenShift review
I mainly use openscap to scan for vulnerabilities in the system and ensure compliance.
Red Hat OpenShift is our new application platform and is the core of our digital transformation. We use it to host our integration platform. As [the] first step, we use its container orchestration capabilities. It enables us to build applications using a choice of programming languages, frameworks, and application lifecycle tools. It allowed us to switch our existing project environments from traditional virtualization to the containerized world without excessive costs.

Red Hat OpenShift
In our organization, Red Hat OpenShift has been a game-changer for deploying, managing, and scaling our containerized applications. We primarily use Red Hat OpenShift to streamline our DevOps processes and enhance our application development lifecycle.

THE Container Platform for Large Scale Enterprises
We use it as a container platform to deploy edge applications in a manufacturing, air-gapped environment. OpenShift addresses business requirements where devices, datalake and operations on the edge need a consolidated platform. Creating expensive virtual machine clusters are archaic and this is where OpenShift helps by empowering our developers to deploy applications straight to the edge.
Another crucial requirement was having a platform that was compatible with our chosen Identity management platform - CyberArk. With Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes, we can ensure that user authentication and management to pods and applications can be safely handled in conjunction with CyberArk.

OCP is the best
We use OpenShift in a completely air gapped/disconnected environment. We hope to provide resiliency and HA to satellite communications and processing.
These systems will handle Link 3 satellite data process and archive indefinately.

We use it in our company to make our applications work better, and it can ensure the smooth running of the applications. Additionally, it also helps in better organisation by enhancing efficiency and increasing the security aspect, and I can say it is more like a background hero who works in silence to make everything work better. We have also started using this for our IT administration.

Red Hat OpenShift Review
We use it as a test bed to better understand the platform to assist our customers with tech challenges. We deploy on top of VMware stack, and also a bare metal stack to have variety in our deployment methods. We then use helm charts and other operators to mimic what our customers might do. We also use this to create demos and show the possibilities.
Red Hat OpenShift is a complete PaaS solution for developers as well as for deployment & configuration engineers who manage & create the underlying infrastructure for cloud-native applications. My use case is to host containerized RAN applications of mobile operators over EDGE servers in a relatively less resource-intensive infrastructure. Lifecycle management of the application, i.e., the CNFs in the case of Telcos, is relatively easy with Red Hat OpenShift.

My first Red Hat OpenShift review
We put Red Hat OpenShift in a box and make on Prem hci appliance. Primary use case of this appliance is to help customer hide the complexity of openshift deployment in terms of networking, bare metal provisioning etc. Also we provide single source of support for all hardware and software pieces , so customer does not need to go to different vendors.

Red Hat OpenShift platform is my customers future
Application deployment in a controlled manage env providing all a wholesome wrapper around my otherwise kubernetes containers.

Stable and scalable PaaS platform
We use OpenShift Fabric platform to manage hosting and deployment of our business applications. The platform handles management of environment configuration, pipelines and promotion paths of all our business applications contributing to the backbone of our trillion dollar revenue system. It is critical to our functioning and operations on technology

Good and secure Kubernetes platform.
We use it to streamline our deployment workflows and save time/effort. We have a limited time window to do our deployments due to the nature of our 24/7 business. Hence it's important to do it quickly and accurately the first time. OpenShift helps us with faster time to market. Standard containers help us scale based on our trading volume.

Red Hat OpenShift is Powerful
We use it to help containerize and develop code using dev spaces. The use case is to help modernize our services.

Red Hat OpenShift is excellent!
We are beginning our supported Kubernetes journey with Red Hat OpenShift. So far, we have been able to speed up the development pipeline as well as transition our traditional services and websites to a highly scalable platform. Although the learning curve has been a fairly steep one, we are quickly becoming more and more comfortable with the solution.

My Experience with Red Hat OpenShift
We use Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) to run our AAP and EDA applications. We ARO, we're able to scale up and down easily as needed, and with AAP managing over 3000 servers across multiple teams, that's a huge advantage. We are also looking into moving other Kubernetes workloads into ARO.

Red Hat OpenShift review
Webapp development and virtualization, there are other operators we are exploring but they are not in production. One of the issues Red Hat OpenShift allows us to overcome is the flow from development to testing to production in web development. Often developers create on their local machine but when pushing to test or production the app fails to work due to configuration issues between the local machine and the production environment. Red Hat OpenShift eliminates that by providing a uniform environment for all three phases. It also provides enhanced security and stability.

Red Hat OpenShift review
Right now the largest use that we're seeing for it with a lot of our customers is around Red Hat OpenShift virtualization. Due to some of the turmoil in the market and some of the moves and some of the products that are being discontinued, there's a huge demand for customers to take their virtual machine workloads and move them to another location. Right now, the best choice for that is Red Hat OpenShift virtualization.

Red Hat OpenShift review
The business case is supporting the container platforms and orchestrating the container platforms. This business is more about supporting the developers. It could be anything from qualifying a component code process, CICD platforms, or a temporary platform to test the components. Hosting critical tool sets, North Star tool sets that support the world of business. It could be anything that is cloud native. There is a lot of benefits that we are getting from Red Hat OpenShift. One is ease of management. The way it helps with GitHub's principles, the way how they have componentized everything and the user has the privilege to go to the operator and select what they need and deploy it as per their requirement. Even they can customize it as per the business requirements. To speak about the benefits, I can speak the entire day about it for the time. I would say only this much. These are the use cases that I have just covered well for the entire business where all container platforms are coming nowadays, if you look at container containerization hitting the market, that is where everyone is moving forward. Everyone wants to land in that space.

Red Hat OpenShift review
Red Hat OpenShift is used within our organization for helping to modernize and speed up application delivery. The business problem that we're trying to address is trying to figure out ways for us to move our applications faster to production, and get features out there quicker so that we can turn around more stuff for our customers. The scope of our use case right now is primarily business-facing application stuff that we use for helping our subscribers and our providers, but it also includes our internal-facing applications as well. So any internal tools that we use for doing our own work and a lot of that same type of stuff all gets migrated to Red Hat OpenShift.

A platform you can depend on.
Interested in migrations from vsphere to rhv. I am also interested in standardizing on-prem K8s to OpenShift from a variety of other distros, including Tanzu and Rancher. Openshift has stood the test of time while other platforms have come and gone or have failed to live up to their promise. The support of the opensource community helps a lot.

Red Hat OpenShift Review
We use Red Hat OpenShift to set up clusters on client side. Some projects we are doing on client side is in finance sector. For example, we build billing platforms and we deploy Red Hat OpenShift in different stages. And what we do is we do the installation and consulting services, connecting all the other environment tools to Red Hat OpenShift to get the software up and running. We do also consulting service in building deployment pipelines to get the software on Red Hat OpenShift.

feedback from USA based university BYU.
I resell Redhat as a distributor. One of the end-users at BYU, a university, finds the how-to manuals or instructions too convoluted. They requested a simplified manual focusing only on the installation and integration steps. They wanted a separate manual for the features. In short, it is straightforward to install, followed by another set of instructions for adding features.
