Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is a container application platform based on Kubernetes, that leverages our ability to start very quickly any containerized application developed with different languages, plus CI/CD, monitoring and logging and security.
Chose Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud
I prefer RedHat OpenShift because with kubernetes there are tons more installations and work effort required to get applications ready to run in the containerized environment. RedHat OpenShift is faster and easier to get up and running.
Chose Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud

Chose Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud
Red hat Openshift had a better user interface by far. Amazon EKS's was so basic it was essentially useless. We had to use a separate tool called lens to get basic stuff done. Lens was buggy and didn't work as well though, even for basic functionality like updating a K8s secret.
Chose Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud

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.

Cons
IBM
  • 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
