Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are both a user & consultants for Red Hat OPenShift. The great thing about OpenShift is that it runs on any cloud! It is also very efficient to run workloads..

Pros

Workload efficiency
Lowering Cost
Agility

Cons

Maybe Cost
Better Windows Integration

Likelihood to Recommend

We have customers looking to move away from VMware. OpenShift provides an enterprise platform for customers to use both vitalization and containers.

Red Hat OpenShift best on premises solution

Rating: 9 out of 10

February 4, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Red Hat OpenShift daily. It is our first option to go when we need to deploy microservices for any type of project. This give us the opportunity to have a centralized standardized way to deploy our services. It is a very strong solution in which besides working very good, have a great support and community you can trust.

Pros

Resource management
Architecture simplicity
Easy to manage

Cons

Modern UI
A defined routemap
Better init tutorial

Likelihood to Recommend

It is difficult to thing where Red Hat OpenShift can't be appropriate. In this days every software you make is a microservice that needs to be deploy in a kubernetes like solution... even when you can have a monolithic, business go with microservices. You can have others solutions but if you can afford this one. This is your goat.

A trustworthy choice to use in migration to containers

Rating: 9 out of 10

December 11, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is a useful platform that can help in your journey from VM's to containers. You host both in the same cluster and migrate the apps one by one. For us it is a crucial platform that allowed to do such a migration and also open new opportunities for new applications.

Pros

Support for virtualisation
Robust container platform
Stable platform

Cons

Improved patching
Easy migration on updates

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a perfect destination if you want to migrate from VMWare, but also you need to have a well prepared staff in order to administer the cluster it self, but also the migration process.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As I assume for most companies using Red Hat OpenShift, we use the platform as an efficient and automating tool to manage and deploy our containerized applications across several environments. We often use Red Hat OpenShift for our Docker containers to package applications and their dependencies and monitoring their status to help us determine if any issues arise or develop from new code changes.

Pros

Great at helping develop and manage containers
Helps modernize our older applications
Gives Enterprise-Grade features needed for developming our system for our customer.

Cons

Reduce complexity for smaller teams/projects/companies
More optimization of resource consumption.
Improved debugging and troubleshooting tools.

Likelihood to Recommend

When working with containers on our system, there is multiple team members that may be changing, developing, and/or deploying containers around the same time of day. Using Red Hat OpenShift allows us to work seamlessly together. However, when it comes for simple changes/testing, I feel it is often quicker for me to work manually within the containers to then just make developments and then redeploy.

A developers great journey into the world of Devops

Rating: 8 out of 10

July 8, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

So, in my organization, we use Red Hat OpenShift as a devops container to host our applications. So every time we push a new version into our git azure, the pipeline is automatically triggered to build the new image and deploy our application. The big advantage we got from using Red Hat OpenShift is that when we used traditional virtual machines to deploy our applications, we didn't know when the service stopped and every time the VM stopped, we had to restart the application (which is essentially a .jar file) again, it didn't restart automatically. In addition, the application artifact is created manually using maven commands. Fortunately, all this was solved using Red Hat OpenShift, because in Red Hat OpenShift we just push the code to git and the magic happens automatically.

Pros

build images
deploy applications
secure applications
organize the pipeline between the source code and the deployed app
great UI to explore the status of the app: dashboarding

Cons

adding custom tasks to a predefined pipelines
simplify the access for the logs
simplify the add of custom resources (UI instead of yaml)
documentation in the yaml files

Likelihood to Recommend

Red Hat OpenShift FITS THE BILL:As a financial institution, our applications must always be up and running, because money is the most important thing to some people, and they can't forgive any delays. Red Hat OpenShift therefore gives us the ability to check the status of our applications and, most importantly, in the event of a problem, Red Hat OpenShift restarts the application automatically.Red Hat OpenShift IS LESS APPROPRIATE: when you have a small integration system, I don't think Red Hat OpenShift is the most appropriate choice, given its price and size. It's like driving a mazzarati in a crowded small town.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It takes a lot of the headache out of deploying and scaling, and helps keep dev and prod in sync ,s ince it’s built on Kubernetes, we get all the power and flexibility of K8s, but with a much nicer experience for the teams — especially when it comes to automation, monitoring, and managing clusters

Pros

it integrates with CI/CD.
Security is also a big win.
handles multi-tenancy really well

Cons

Virtualization’s improving, but networking still feels a bit limited.

Likelihood to Recommend

works really well for large-scale container workloads and AI/ML use cases it’s solid, flexible, and production-ready. Virtualization is improving, but still needs work; recent updates look promising. For small, simple apps, it might be more than you need.

Red Hat Openshift Platform.

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

July 7, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We had a business requirement to integrate multiple systems, where we had developed a large number of APIs and microservices. To manage and deploy this large number of APIs and services, we used Red Hat OpenShift as a cloud platform to host and expose our endpoints to consumers who want to use the integration flow. OpenShift provides a significant edge in managing a large number of applications, offering features such as scaling, automated deployment, integration with monitoring tools, and resource quota usage statistics.

Pros

We had a few microservices that dealt with notifications and alerts. We used OpenShift to deploy these microservices, which handle and deliver notifications using publish-subscribe models.
We had to expose an API to consumers via MTLS, which was implemented using Server secret integration in OpenShift. We were then able to deploy the APIs on OpenShift with API security.
We integrated Splunk with OpenShift to view the logs of our applications and gain real-time insights into usage, as well as provide high availability.

Cons

It would be better to see the UI for Service Mesh enablement separately.
It can enhance the console view, which displays application logs and the status of requests.
Currently, we have a large number of APIs in a single namespace, which is difficult to view at a single point in time in OpenShift; perhaps we can see some improvement in the API lists and views.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a large number of APIs within your application scope, OpenShift is the platform you should use to manage all the apps with ease.

July 7, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Open Shift is used as part of the AI-RAN POC CaaS to evaluate the 5G functionalities and RAN capability. Orchestrating CPU and GPU resources can be a challenging problem, but the Red Hat team is willing to support and learn with us as we progress. The team has ample resources and learning materials to get us started. We appreciate the Red Hat team and their support of our multiple RAN projects.

Pros

Lot of educational materials.
Prompt responses and turn-around support.
Professional and knowledgeable people.
Local support on site when required.

Cons

Orchestration between GPU and CPU guideline.
RAN related Kubernetes orchestration examples.

Likelihood to Recommend

Red Hat's OpenShift is easy to use and offers extensive support.
