What is Red Hat OpenShift?
Red Hat® OpenShift® is a unified platform to build, modernize, and deploy applications at scale. It includes an enterprise-ready Kubernetes solution with a choice of deployment and consumption options to meet the needs of the business. OpenShift delivers a consistent experience across public cloud, on-premise, hybrid cloud, or edge architecture. It includes multiple advanced open source capabilities that are tested and integrated with the underlying certified Kubernetes environment, such as Red Hat OpenShift Serverless, Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines, and Red Hat OpenShift GitOps. Red Hat OpenShift gives users the choice of running their workloads managed or self-managed editions:
Cloud Services (Managed) Editions
Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS: A turnkey application platform that provides a managed Red Hat OpenShift service running natively on Amazon Web Services (AWS) used by organizations to increase operational efficiency, refocus on innovation, and build, deploy, and scale applications.
Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift: Red Hat and Microsoft jointly engineer, manage, and support the platform, used by organizations to increase operational efficiency, refocus on innovation, and quickly build, deploy, and scale applications.
Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated: A managed Red Hat OpenShift offering on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud.
Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud: A managed Red Hat OpenShift cloud service that reduces operational complexity and helps organizations build and scale applications with the security of IBM Cloud.
Why choose Red Hat OpenShift cloud services?
Red Hat OpenShift cloud services automate the deployment and management of Red Hat OpenShift clusters, so organizations can build, deploy and scale applications quickly without having to incorporate and learn new technologies and processes, or manage integrations. It also helps users to:
Reduce security & compliance risk through 24x7 global SRE coverage.
Limit operational and staffing dependencies attached to particular providers.
Reduce integration bottlenecks with repeatability and consistency for multi-cloud deployments.
Self-Managed Editions
Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus: The recommended self-managed option that builds on the capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform with a complete platform for accelerating application development and application modernization. The full portfolio includes all the features of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform along with several integration technology solutions including Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation, and Red Hat Quay.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform: A full set of operations and developer services and tools that includes everything in the Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine plus additional features and services.
Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine: An enterprise Kubernetes runtime that includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS immutable container operation system, administrator console and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Engine: Built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS and the KVM hypervisor, this edition provides the proven virtualization functionality of Red Hat Openshift to deploy, manage, and scale virtual machines exclusively and is optimized for bare-metal servers.
Why choose self-managed Red Hat OpenShift?
Red Hat OpenShift self-managed editions provide more control and flexibility over OpenShift deployments. Self-managed editions allow deployment on private or public clouds, on bare metal, or at the edge. In addition, long-term support provides flexible life cycles providing the option to choose when to upgrade to the next version of Red Hat OpenShift.

Reviews From Top Reviewers
Red Hat OpenShift the most mature and stable Kubernetes solution on the planet
- Hosting Red Hat OpenShift AT (OpenDataHub)
- LORA Training for Models
- Hositng Inference Systems with MCP Connections
- Running Development Pods for Research Projects
Cons
- The complexity. Some errors occur of systems that cant interact with each other I even dont know run. The system is way to complex in its structure. It is not a OCP issue itself but Kubernetes. To get more adapted, it must be much more integrated and stable.
- The UI is part of the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. It should also be on the Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine (in a simpler way)
- Update Process is failing way too often. There are always issues.
- The User enforcement cant be used in our environment. We need root in pods per standard. This is quite complicated in Red Hat OpenShift.
OpenShift Review
- It's a one pane of glass, so when we have Rev only it was a hypervisor for VMs. OpenShift, you can put Ansible in it, you can hook into satellite, it can do with OpenShift AI. You can do AI models and stuff like that. So I think it's more like a Swiss Army knife rather than a fire extinguisher.
Cons
- OpenShift virtualization has a little room for improvement. I'm coming from it as a Rev customer. There's some things in that OpenShift virtualization that were in Rev that I would like to see in OpenShift virtualization. I realized that they're chasing the VMware crowd and that's fine, but from us old Rev customers, we'd like to see some things that was in Rev around via migration and things of that nature that could be in OpenShift virtualization, I hope is being planned to be put in.

Red Hat OpenShift review
- Easily deploy Kubernetes Pods in a user friendly way
- Great support for the product when issues arise in the environment
- Maintenance and patching the environment is easier than ever
Cons
- Sometimes alerting can be genetic and hard to troubleshoot, usually the alert is indirectly correlated to another issue
- Sometimes the UI can be slow at responding to listing pods, containers, etc
