One of the noticeable (positive) impacts Red Hat has had is the way we are able to investigate, identify, and better approach database issues. By analyzing the data/results from Red Hat, we find that getting to the root cause (and addressing/resolving it) has increased by at least 25%.

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 provides a wrapper around Kubernetes. The orchestration platform used by Red Hat OpenShift is Kubernetes. However, there are some features which make it good performant. The image pull policy can be set so that only the images can be pre-pulled. This saves a lot of time especially when the network is slow. CPU manager allows managing the workloads to specific CPU(s).

Applications deployed to OpenShift clusters stay responsive when peak load hits or when the traffic dies down - since the platform reacts by scaling out or scaling in the deployed applications elastically - achieved through' policy sense and response automation - leveraging monitoring, measuring (metrics), auto-scaling to meet SLAs, SLOs, and SLIs. This approach works for stateless or stateful business logic hosting applications. The deployed applications perform consistently, stably, and securely across many deployment platforms - public clouds, private data centers, at the edge, or on factory floors - hosted by bare metal or virtual environments.

OpenShift has a solid architecture based on conservative choice, so it works correctly, and its reliability is elevated. The performance of the application is good because workloads could scale like they could do in every other Kubernetes distro, well installed if it runs on sufficient hardware. In case of any issue Red Hat support could be reached to help the customer.

Our applications are isolated from each other and also from the underlying infrastructure. OpenShift scales horizontally and we can easily add more worker nodes to our cluster to handle increased demand. It automatically scales our applications up and down based on demand, ensuring we always have the resources we need to perform optimally which prevents resource contention and ensures that each application gets the resources it needs, even during spikes and heavy usage loads.

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.

Applications deployed using the Openshift platform performed as per their usage and architecture, but internal capabilities provided by Openshift help to configure internal scaling during spikes and heavy loads.

The huge fact is that Red Hat stays extremely responsive during our database thread starvations. During this dip in metrics (and even during times of heavy/high CPU usage, we are still able to utilize Red Hat because of how responsive and stable it has shown to be. If it weren't for that sheer fact, it may not be as efficient as we are today.
