Red Hat OpenShift: One of the Best Cloud Platforms!
Red Hat OpenShift makes the Kubernetes operations simpler and easier to provide. Kubernetes operations can be complicated especially for beginner(s). Red Hat OpenShift provides a web and CLI interface so that teams with different skill sets can be productive. Red Hat OpenShift provides various features like the CPU Manager which provides better control on the resource allocation and usage. This control is lacking in other solutions.

Red Hat OpenShift Review
- Docker and Podman.io
We've done work on Docker and we've done work in Podman, which aren't really apples to apples as far as OpenShift because they're just purely containerization tools. They're not necessarily platforms. We did an evaluation on a tool, another Kubernetes-based tool, and I don't even remember the name of it. I cannot think of the name of this tool. It's a VMware tool. I don't remember. They have a Kubernetes solution that they offer. But as far as the features, functionality, and cost of ownership, OpenShift outshines those others that we've looked at. So it seems to be the market leader.

All of them are good. I would say based on our requirements.

Eases app development and deployments.
Red Hat OpenShift combines Kubernetes with additional features, streamlining management by avoiding the need to handle separate services.Enterprise. Users appreciate the blend of enterprise-grade support and community collaboration.
Efficiency wise Some users find that Red Hat OpenShift saves time and costs in container management. While Kubernetes and Azure are robust, Red Hat OpenShift’s support, community, and user-friendly approach make it an appealing choice for many developers

CNCF Kubernetes. OpenShift builds on Kubernetes and is a complete platform. OpenShift makes use of extensions provided by Kubernetes to provide a full platform. OpenShift is 100% Kubernetes, while Kubernetes is not 100% OpenShift.
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Sometimes, we were forced to adopt Red Hat OpenShift because it's a well-known distribution and has extensive support offered by Red Hat. This is the main reason behind this selection. When a customer is forced to have a Kubernetes distro on-prem, there are alternatives, but usually, Red Hat is the most famous name on the table.

Red Hat OpenShift opens windows to opportunities and flexibility
- Google Kubernetes Engine and Docker
It is more flexible and conducive to rapid development. It shares in common storage as images. Red Hat OpenShift is a great option if / when organizations are in phase of innovation where competitive differentiation is best fostered by fueling the cauldrons of creativity.

RedHat OpenShift for future-proof agility and rapid growth.
We had some existing apps and were looking for a platform to modernize our app deployments and scale for future growth. Based on Kubernetes, OpenShift offers more flexibility and customization. We could deploy any type of containerized application, not just Cloud Foundry-specific ones. I particularly liked the built-in security and its focus on rapid and automated deployments. Moreover, our cloud strategy isn't set in stone. OpenShift's flexibility means we could deploy on-prem, in multiple public clouds, or use a hybrid approach - something other products couldn't offer as expected.

A complete PaaS solution for private cloud environments
I work for a private cloud datacenter environment where Red Hat OpenShift remains the best choice because of its security & simple UI interface
January 30, 2024
Great investment of time and effort but results are worth it.
I have worked with Kubernetes, which shares great similarities with Red Hat openShift, but in terms of ease of use, Red Hat is better as Kubernetes requires extra tools for completing certain tasks, which can be a little taxing sometimes. On top of it, Red Hat has built-in tools for coding, etc, which makes it even better when it comes to efficiency and results.

Using Openshift in Production.
We evaluated the native Kubernetes before selecting Openshift because of Production Support, RBAC, Integration, and build capabilities, including Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment.
January 29, 2024
Good and secure Kubernetes platform.
- AWS Auto Scaling and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
OpenShift is more flexible and can be deployed On-prem and on the cloud. Openshift was easier for the development teams to get up to speed and understand k8 terminology.
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Google Kubernetes Engine, Kubernetes and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
The reason for selecting Red Hat OpenShift is that it offers a combination of enterprise-grade support and a strong community, making it a good choice for container orchestration needs.

Robust Features and Enterprise Support.
Red Hat OpenShift provides a richer feature set, scalability options, and an integrated developer experience compared to Docker Swarm. Integrated CI/CD, developer-friendly interfaces, and strong support set it apart from Google GKE.

Red Hat OpenShift is here to stay

A developer friendly PaaS.
Not so complete a Paas as Red Hat Openshift. Its main advantage is being integrated with VCenter, so for System Administrators might be a better solution, but not so friendly for developers, and you need more work to include metrics, log collection and other features openshift has out of the box.
- Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Red Hat Satellite, Red Hat Directory Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
OpenShift works well in conjunction with Ansible Automation Platform that in our case is used for the cluster bootstrap process, before the ArgoCD takes over further cluster side configuration. Essentially AAP enables easy cluster build and rebuild processes.

- Azure Bot Service (Microsoft Bot Framework)
Since it is Linux based all the servers are maintained upto date and the operating procedure is an added advantage fixing security issues and patches.and LinkedIn with all the web servers it may be related to Java and all other related to servers mainly linking with the web integrations and management.
Openshift is less complex as far as implementation and deployment. Also, better support with RedHat.

OpenShift for the Enterprise K8s solution Win!
OpenShift is the clear winner. It contains all components necessary to deliver a truly Enterprise ready K8s solution and developer experience.

A happy customer's review.
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Red Hat Satellite, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and Red Hat Virtualization
Openshift provides a way to deploy Containerized Java applications running on JBoss EAP and RHEL in a very easy way. Reducing server preparation time, hardening-server headaches, and deploying to different stages nightmares.
