Product Details

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 cloud services or self-managed editions:

Cloud Services 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
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 any private or public cloud, 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.

-It helped to reduce the overall costs in upgrading legacy applications and scaling them. Time taken for upgrading has reduced significantly. Maintenance/debugging has become easier. - Data gathering, storage, data analysis, data processing and data mining capabilities which Red Hat OpenShift provides, have significantly improved the quality of the end products

OpenShift has provided a solid and well-architected architecture for deploying the workloads. The ifra is solid and reliable, like every other Kubernetes distribution, well installed and configured. If you adopt a well-architected distro, or you are able to install Kubernetes open source by yourself, making it production-ready, the value of open shift will be decreased.

An application can be easily and quickly scaled—there's no need to provision new machines, deploy the application twice, or create a new balancer. Infrastructure tasks become easy to handle.
Developer productivity increases as he doesn't need infrastucture skills to build/deploy his application.

Our deployments are automated workflows now, triggered by code changes. We can push updates confidently, knowing they'll land safely and consistently across environments. Each service is self-contained, where development and testing are way faster. No more worrying about dependency conflicts or infrastructure quirks, and it keeps all our underlying software and tools updated automatically.

I can't comment on the development part as I am not the developer but I can tell about the deployment that it is greatly enhanced with the integration of GitOps with Red Hat OpenShift. The maintenance is also easy for the infrastructure because the Red Hat OpenShift console provides all the policy based alerts in the governance tab

The way our organisation develops and maintains apps has significantly changed as a result of OpenShift. Our developers can work more quickly as a result, which speeds up the creation and updating of programmes. In term of communication I can say it largely impacted the connectivity between operational and development team. Although a bit complex to learn but worth it once done.

We had a log of legacy applications, and we are in the midst of a multi-year effort to migrate to the cloud. OpenShift has helped us port applications over to the hybrid cloud solution - which is a requirement in our financial industry, given the data security constraints. We've been able to optimize our resources and automatically scale when trading volumes increase.

One of the noticeable (positive) impacts Red Hat has had is the way we are able to investigate, identify, and better approach database issues. By analyzing the data/results from Red Hat, we find that getting to the root cause (and addressing/resolving it) has increased by at least 25%.
