A developer friendly PaaS.
As a consultant, my role is to help our customers get the most from the solutions we offer. We use Red Hat OpenShift to help our clients develop their business applications in a more agile way, reducing development times, increasing the scalability of solutions, in an environment that favors team productivity. As service providers, we also benefit from being able to quickly provide our customers with a complete platform for their containerized workloads, which offers an easy-to-use interface. Installation is simple and fast, and the use of operators allows you to quickly add functionality. Above all, we trust Red Hat to provide quality content, and with an excellent level of support.
- The isolation of projects with RBAC is great to give different teams the resources they need without disrupting other teams.
- Automation with operators is great as it simplifies tasks that required a lot of work, or the deployment and maintenance of applications and tools.
- The way you can easily scale up or down automatically, at the pod, but also at the node level.
- With operators, find the right CRD to edit when you need changes or review something, can be difficult.
- Sometimes you need to view an objects yaml file to check the status of a project or object.
- Alerts sometimes are a bit obscure, and there's is no information on pod or node involved.
We have been building a platform to be consumed by multiple teams via self-service onboarding process. The stress is on providing
multi-tenancy, separation of duties, and security, as well as support of regional DR scenario for various applications using persistent data. The goal is making OpenShift the standard platform to run containerized workloads and potentially standardize upon it and eliminate other k8s based solutions that unfortunately still exist in the enterprise

- K8s related tooling
- Security
- Multi-cluster management
- Persistent data replication
- The embedded ODF cluster solution is limited to a single storage class which does not allow to have different tiers of storage dedicated to specific workloads
- Fixed size of the underlying disk size that also forces the user to use the same disk size for the further storage scale out process

Perfect for hosting different network components from multiple vendors. Effective in delivering and maintaining our own infrastructure applications in our OCP cluster. Allows improvement of systems agility and performance improvement. Automatic load balancing management of centralized applications is thus the best solution for centralizing applications. As well as easy-to-run applications across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
- Flexibility
- Stability
- Monitoring
- Easy to customize.
- Easy to migrate.
- More depth in the documentation of the product is needed.
- To beginners, we usually have a hard time teaching them to use it.

The digital services of the operating system is scalable.The Linux allows to deploy all types of apps and infra easily without any faults.mainly Linux 7 and used in critical environment.and is used in multiple applications likely would be Java and web servers.and it mainly used to run business process workloads and to develop on making highly reliable configurations by using large scale databases for customers.
- Numerous wide range of apps
- Updates
- Server management
- Security patches
- Cpu management
- Support
- Command changes
- Installation
We use and maintain OCP for CI/CD, and delivery of internal gov applications. We also deploy and maintain our own infrastructure applications in our OCP clusters.
- Build processes are quicker, so our app devs can expedite application deployment.
- Openshift serves as a great environment for collaboration and testing applications, prior to Production deployment.
- Upgrades on OCPv4.X are easy, quick, and seamless.
- Redhat constantly adds new feature sets on a regular basis.
- Certificate management and rotation could be more definitive, i.e., which certificates expire every 1 year, as opposed to every 2 years.
- Sometimes, rarely at best, we need to cycle our Thanos-querier pods due to an alert target firing in the alert manager.
- Early warning, pertaining to control plane issues, ie ETCD slowness, due to HUGE workloads. We do get alerts, but usually after the fact.

OpenShift for the Enterprise K8s solution Win!
We use OpenShift to containerize over 11 Lines of business with approximately 127 unique applications.
- Container workload logical separation with projects and networking.
- Integrate easily into the NASA Identity Management solution.
- Makes managing Enterprise Kubernetes easy for a small Operations team.
- Would love to see easier use of OpenShift developer tools.
- I would like to see better error logs with respect to issues that directly impact the User log. For example, we lost DNS and we were unable to log into the UI. It took some digging to relate the error to the loss of DNS.

- S2I deployments.
- scaling
- Ease of administration.
- Documentation
- documentation about industry best practices
- Disaster recovery. Active-active scenario is too expensive

My experience using Red Hat OpenShift!
It's our main platform for ms deployment. We use it to develop all the software that supports our online platforms and customer channels.
We also deploy our omnichannel platform, which is a series of microservices (java) that provides security and enables other ms to access core services through API. All this ms are being exposed using 3scale.

- Rolling deployment
- Creating new projects and apps really fast
- Auto scaling
- Having the possibility to autoscale pods at certain times of the week, month, or year. Not using cron but as part of HPA.

Open for Shifting Installation
We are just starting our journey with containers. We currently are trying to move all our DevOps tools to containers. Once we have our self-hosted dev ops tools on Red Hat OpenShift, we can upgrade them easily. This is really difficult with our dev ops tools sitting on VMs. In addition, we would be able to retire our VMs and use less resources.
For developers, we are working on creating a pipeline to build and deploy python applications. We currently have 4 python applications. They are using source to image and works with few issues. We do not have any automation at this time. Going to try to automate as soon as possible.

- It's very easy to set up source to image for a project from git repository.
- The oc and odo command line tools are easy to install on Windows.
- Overall context help is available on most screens.
- User interface is a bit hard to understand for a novice
- Provide an ai search. It's annoying to dig through many menu items to get what I'm looking for.

Good platform, easy to install and configure.
We use Openshift as a platform for all our Java and angular microservices. Openshift allows us to scale quickly; for example, recently, we needed to scale up and add four new clusters. Installation with ROSA is very straightforward, and using Gitops, this was a very smooth process to get the new clusters configured.
- Developer experience.
- Support cases and troubleshooting.
- Middleware
- Upgrading Middleware.

Good kubernetes solution.
We were picking a Kubernetes solution last year, and unfortunately, due to time constraints, we weren't able to fully test open shifts. But it has several features that we like.
- Stable gui/control panel.
- Easy to use menus.
- Able to import Kubernetes clusters from other sources. like opensource or rancher.
Our developers were very anxious to containerize their applications. We deploy, maintain, and support end users on Openshift.
- Horizontally scale pods for high availability.
- Simplify upgrades.
- Maintain availability of applications.
- On-prem automation of scalability.
- Simplify integration of metrics collected to better inform admins.
