    Unlike other providers, Springs doesn’t use a pre-built container solution, instead opting for their own software built from the ground up.

    RedHat OpenShift is not only suited for IBM Cloud but can run in ANY cloud. We installed in Azure Cloud, for example. It can also run on Linux servers or a Power 9 machine. It is built for multi-cloud or on-prem environments. IBM support provides such excellent guidance in the installation and configuration that no other product on the market can beat it.

    • Multiclick provisioning of resources makes it super easy to manage pods and deployments. We don't have to maintain code for the same
    • In built security features and customizability ensures that organization wide standards are integrated well into the containers
    • Automated backups, scale ups and fail recovery makes sure of minimal down time

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Provide more options at lower costs
    • It would be nice to see that expanded out to more distributions. What would be potentially even better though is templates. Some hosts can deploy ready-to-run WordPress/Drupal sites, LAMP instances, ownCloud instances, etc. at the drop of a hat. If Springs could replicate this with their container hosting they’d immediately appeal to a much, much wider audience;

    • I wish it had better compatibility with docker file syntax. We had issues when it couldn't build standard docker files
    • Wish it had better documentation
    • Wish they offered fully supported client libraries for the Openshift API rather than dumping it on a 3rd party

    I think response time for IBM Cloud support should be improved.

    Springs is drastically cheaper than running 4 OVH servers, and a little cheaper than running nano instances on AWS.

    We evaluated a number of potential solutions and ultimately chose Red Hat OpenShift because it was compatible with our existing technology. Time and costs savings have been realized throughout the company since we implemented Red Hat OpenShift, and the IT department has been freed up to focus on activities that are more valuable.

    • In the beginning I wasn’t sure what I should set it to for my web server, so I left it. After a while the Average usage area begins showing how much resource the container is demanding and from that more adequate limits can be set.
