How Red Hat OpenShift Differs From Its Competitors

Application Development and Delivery

I think it's been a positive impact and it's still transitioning. So we are with Red Hat OpenShift and ever getting more and more teams working with it, finding that we can really standardize a lot on how we do that delivery. And we haven't, haven't ever had that in the past, right? If there are …

Positive impact. We use OpenShift extensively for our container workloads, which can be COTS or homegrown. We also plan to use it as a landing zone for general-purpose VMs or VMS that would benefit from K8s APIs and pipelines. We look forward to the production release of hosted control planes, …

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.

Some of the various other Kubernetes out there, including Rancher, is probably one of the biggest one. Rancher has a reputation for being very easy to implement. I've found that Red Hat OpenShift is just as easy to implement as Rancher. People just don't really know about it. Nutanix is another hypervisor out there competing with Red Hat OpenShift. Again, I think OpenShift virtualization but maybe isn't as old as Nutanix. I do feel it's more mature.

I have used numerous products. I'm not going to tell you anything. Like I haven't seen anything, something comparable. Even if I got something compared, I'm not going to speak about it. Well, to the question you asked, I have worked on brands, VMware, Zu Cubes, Docker, swam, and pretty much all the on-prem offerings that is available in the market. Red Hat OpenShift is doing a better job compared to other products. There is no question about that.

So I mean not anywhere near the same level, right? But we've looked at the Amazon solutions for it. The AWS solutions. There's one that I wasn't part of that I didn't really look at, so I guess I won't speak to that one. But AWS has been the only one that I've really looked at. So I think from a feature standpoint, I didn't really have a huge difference one way or the other. I think the reason we ended up choosing Red Hat OpenShift is the ability to run it on-premise. We want to be able to run it within our data center so that we can host our own internal private applications without having to worry about all of the stuff that's required to run it on the public web.

Our developer community is using Red Hat OpenShift for years and they are familiar and comfortable with the product. Red Hat OpenShift UI makes it easier for new developers to adopt without knowing much of Kubernetes. Our platform team feels it’s easy to mange the cluster and upgrades. Other options has more operation overhead and less friendly to developers not have in-depth knowledge of Kubernetes.

Red Hat OpenShift is a more complete and integrated platform, with lots of out of the box components that the other platforms don't have, and customers need to stack lots of other software in order to have monitoring, cost management, log management, user policies governance, and more. Another great benefit Red Hat OpenShift delivers ir the supported operators.
