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.
- Self-healing
- Excellent support
- Always adding new features
- Many features only available via terminal
- Support personnel hours can be wildly inconsistent
- User/group management is tedious
We are doing a POC for large scale VM migration from ESXI
- Containers
- Networking
- GUI
- Virtual machines. Bringing up a single VM and shutting it down is fine. Does not work at scale.

Red Hat OpenShift review
Red Hat OpenShift is used for a lot of different workloads in our organization; web apps, services, ML, and vendor provided applications. Main business problems Red Hat OpenShift solved was speed to market, and allowing developers to own the process and their applications.
- Easy deployment
- Speed to market
- Empowering developers
- Ability to easily spin up more pods for heavy workloads
- Complicated setup and maintenance of clusters
- Overall cost

Red Hat OpenShift review after a year.
We use Red Hat OpenShift to help our customers containerize their workloads and deploy Devspaces to help new developers get up to speed with their coding environments to get them coding quickly in a consistent environment. Red Hat OpenShift makes it easy to deploy workloads and segment it based on each team or person's workload.
- Quickly deploying operators and containers
- Role based access
- Flexibility to have containers and VMs side by side
- Documentation
- Setup in disconnected environments
We use it as a container platform to deploy edge applications in a manufacturing, tight-gapped environment.
- Container Platform for developers to test, update, deploy and bring an application from development to production
- Provides a single platform natively in cloud and in on-prem. It's a perfect fit for Hybrid organizations like ours. ARO is a great asset and so is deploying Red Hat OpenShift on-prem in virtual instances
- Highly dependent platform built on Red Hat Linux OS which helps on saving costs
- Collaboration with on-prem specialiszed vendors like VMware, MS Hyper-V perhaps?
- Be more open to using other container registry platforms in demos like Container Registry in Azure
- Documentation is hidden behind a Training Subscription.

ROSA Review
We use Red Hat OpenShift with a on premise cluster and also a ROSA cluster inside the AWS west 2 region.
- ROSA assists us with the control plane, save our management work and cost
- Supported our CI/CD with our web services.
- We are currently using ROSA version 4.14. We don't have clearly instruction on how to upgrade to 4.15. It seems that it is a hard fork in code base. We do not have an available to upgrade from either command line or GUI.

Red Hat OpenShift in Retail
We use Red Hat OpenShift in Azure for our order management system at a large US-based retailer with significant e-commerce presence. It is used to coordinate order fulfillment between systems and we are currently planning to move more traditional PaaS-hosted applications in Red Hat OpenShift.
We have been pleased with our Red Hat OpenShift experience so far and look forward to migrating more applications through modernization efforts.
