Red Hat OpenShift: One of the Best Cloud Platforms!
In our organization, we have thousands of microservices that were deployed on Kubernetes. The management of thousands of services was becoming very difficult so we decided to switch to Red Hat OpenShift.We use Red Hat OpenShift for the deployment and management of cloud infrastructure. With Red Hat OpenShift, we have an enterprise-grade platform, simplified management, and comprehensive support. In addition, we are able to run Kubernetes workloads in Red Hat OpenShift.

Big banking OCP installation.
We have a big k8 installation with more than 1500 virtual CPUs and more than 500 pods running in 3 different Regions with OCP. We also have an Ansible tower automation instalation to provisioning our Red Hat Linux Servers in IBM Cloud.

Openshift Review
So we have implemented a new payment platform based on microservices, running in containers and the client decided to go with the OpenShift solution. So I didn't do the installation myself, but I'm part of the team that does the code deployment for this application. Also maintaining it and troubleshooting in case of any issue, either in the testing environment or production environment.

Open shift container platform (self managed) Review
So my team with the automation team assists what we call the portal team in maintaining their OpenShift environment, their deployments, and their backups, as well as maintaining our Ansible a p platform on OpenShift, running an operator. So my team and I are doing most of the heavy lifting on the OpenShift side for what we call the Bell Self-serve portal.

Red Hat OpenShift Review
OpenShift Container platform gives us a container orchestration platform for modernizing our legacy applications to run in containers. The Kubernetes platform is what gives us the container-based flexibility, scalability, and adaptability that we need to move our legacy apps to a more modern and sustainable state.

Red Hat OpenShift Review
We do have applications onboarded in the Red Hat OpenShift test. We have tier-one and tier-two applications. Especially with auto-scaling Ments, spinning up the containers, the developers can easily deploy their applications onto the clusters and it can have when the need increases by spinning up more instances of your applications. So it maintains a better response time and meets the SOE.

Red Hat OpenShift Review
We have especially open enrollment, right where three, or four months we have a high traffic, especially on the enrollment side. So that's where we started the OpenShift but now it gets used across all the domains like claims, Medicare processing, and all the data for the application. So across all the applications we use. So I can say all business-critical applications run on the OpenShift. So one problem that, especially on the open enrollment we had scaling because those three, four months, the volume surge like 50 times, 200 times, right? The earlier challenge was to add the hardware and there are always delays that take a couple of months. But with OpenShift we can able to do it in just a few days. I think those scaling when we have a sudden burst of workload, was the major challenge for OpenShift was able to work on.

Eases app development and deployments.
Red Hat OpenShift helped us upgrade some of the legacy internal applications used across a particular team in one geo location. These apps were run from virtual/remote environments, using Red Hat OpenShift we are now able to move these to the cloud service. It improved the scalability of the applications and now we are able to use the same application across various teams seamlessly.
As an enterprise organization with mission-critical applications - Red Hat OCP helps my organization - build, deploy, operate, maintain, and integrate containerized applications that are secure, scalable, and stable - across multiple platforms. Red Hat OpenShift helps to build native and containerized cloud applications quickly to react to market forces, capitalize on market opportunities, and innovate to market-changing trends. OpenShift helps to application development time, time to value, and market with safer applications, stabler, and more secure. At the same time - the deployed applications are consistent across on-prem or in public clouds or private data centers - in physical or virtual environments. OpenShift can also be used simultaneously - on legacy applications to modernize and deploy anywhere or everywhere, including at the edges or on factory/shop floors.
Red Hat OpenShift is a Kubernetes distribution that aims to resolve the containerized needs of customers securely. In addition to the package, behind the distro, there is Red Hat with his support team and implementation team. The distro, of course, has license and support costs that could be a huge part of the maintenance infrastructure costs. Do not forget also that Red Hat has made strong design politics with OpenShift that force a vendor lock-in in several parts of the day two operation.

Red Hat OpenShift opens windows to opportunities and flexibility
We leverage Red Hat OpenShift to have agility, flexibility, security and speed in deploying and scaling applications in a hybrid cloud and on premise ecosystem.
I use Red Hat OpenShift to manage and deploy containerized applications. With Red Hat OpenShift, it's easy to orchestrate and automate the deployment, scaling them horizontally. This addresses business problems such as ensuring high availability, scalability, and ease of maintenance for our IT infrastructure. In my case, I can easily deploy applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure complexities.

RedHat OpenShift for future-proof agility and rapid growth.
I can quickly spin up containerized environments for testing and iterating on new ML models without worrying about infrastructure setup. OpenShift's built-in CI/CD pipelines automate the build and deployment process. Once a model proves promising, I can scale it to handle production traffic using its autoscaling features. Working with a team of integration experts, OpenShift offers a great platform for sharing and collaborating on models, and we can easily run different versions of models in parallel and compare their performance.

A complete PaaS solution for private cloud environments
Red Hat OpenShift is a complete PaaS solution for developers as well as for deployment & configuration engineers who manage & create the underlying infrastructure for cloud-native applications. My use case is to host containerized RAN applications of mobile operators over EDGE servers in a relatively less resource-intensive infrastructure. Lifecycle management of the application, i.e., the CNFs in the case of Telcos, is relatively easy with Red Hat OpenShift.

Great investment of time and effort but results are worth it.
We use it in our company to make our applications work better, and it can ensure the smooth running of the applications. Additionally, it also helps in better organization by enhancing efficiency and increasing the security aspect, and I can say it is more like a background hero who works in silence to make everything work better.

Good and secure Kubernetes platform.
We use it to streamline our deployment workflows and save time/effort. We have a limited time window to do our deployments due to the nature of our 24/7 business. Hence it's important to do it quickly and accurately the first time. OpenShift helps us with faster time to market. Standard containers help us scale based on our trading volume.
My team and I use Red Hat OpenShift primary for our CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) pipeline, along with using it for database analytics. If our databases' threads experience starvation, Red Hat is one of the tools we mainly use to analyze the data in order to search for potential root causes.
We use it for infrastructure efficiency, DevOps enablement, Container orchestration, image scanning, and security RBAC setup.

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.
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
