Red Hat OpenShift review
Software Version
Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus (self-managed)
Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift
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 has gone a very long way towards making the migration from other hypervisors, such as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization or VMware into Red Hat OpenShift virtualization. So the migration, albeit offline, works very well.
- I don't know that it would actually be possible, but minimizing the downtime and being able to facilitate a migration without service outages.
- All of the above. Red Hat OpenShift going into a developer-type setting can be stood up very quickly. There's a very short period to have developers onboard to it and they're able to become productive much faster than a grow your own type solution.
Well, combined with the GI Ops operator, which uses Argo CD, our times of delivery for applications have been reduced to almost nothing.
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.
