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.

We have that 24/7 availability. The moment we moved most of our critical assets to date, we haven't heard anything, any problem with our availability. So if you talk about certain nines, yes, I would say it is like four nines. We are able to maintain that on our Red Hat OpenShift.

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 12 different teams, there are 12 different ways to do app delivery and now we're all starting to converge into a single pattern, which I think has been very good. It's definitely eased some of the cognitive load for development teams so that they can get to where they need to go faster and don't have to learn new technologies

It has increased productivity by minimizing dependency on infrastructure, now developers can focus on coding. It has accelerated delivery timeline as it supports for DevOps and CI/CD pipelines. Its self healing feature has reduced manual intervention hence simplified maintenance.

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, which will be very beneficial.

Red Hat OpenShift has not that much changed on the delivery software delivery process itself because we already had tools which we have used for years. The positive thing is we can integrate that tools with Red Hat OpenShift and maybe for the future we can draw or we can move to Teton, for example, if we need to scale out. But we are not on this point right now, so maybe in the future we'll do that.

We are running multiple tier 1 applications in Red Hat OpenShift and it’s deeply integrated to our developer community via CICD and DevOps integrations. More training materials for new application teams and developers going to help on more adoption and growth. Also cost is the major factor for any application. Competitive cost options and better cost reporting inbuilt to Red Hat OpenShift cluster will be very helpful

Red Hat OpenShift has increased our productivity by at least 3x. Provide a platform where constant development is truly enabled. The platform upgraded itself as the ability to be flexible and dynamic as we are constantly tested with embracing change for the better. Red Hat OpenShift is an awesome product and I hope to continue supporting it as we go to cloud.
