Product Details

What is Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud?

Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is a managed offering to create OpenShift clusters of compute hosts to deploy and manage containerized apps on IBM Cloud. The managed OpenShift offering combines built-in OpenShift capabilities including RHEL-based infrastructure, enterprise hardened Kubernetes, validated integrations, integrated container registry, developer workflow tools, and access to services through service brokers with operational cluster life-cycle support from IBM Cloud SRE based on managing 20k production upstream Kubernetes clusters. As a managed offering, IBM will deploy the compute, networks, and storage based on the customer’s requirements through the UI, CLI, API, or automation through IBM Cloud Schematics. Additionally, IBM provides the tooling for updates including OS patches, vulnerability remediation, and updates to any component in the stack with the customer determining when they should upgrade. Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud supports HA masters, multi-zone clusters, compute isolation choices including bare metal worker nodes, customer managed keys using IBM Key Protect or HyperProtect Crypto Services using FIPS 140-2 Level 4 encryption, and secure access to IBM Cloud services to enhance an application’s capabilities including Watson, IoT, and Analytics.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications in a IBM cloud environment. Using Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud leverages our ability to start very quickly any containerized application developed with diferente languages, as here we use python, node, javascript and NEXT. We can take advantage of Built-in continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools, as well, security features, such as network policies and secret management. And its possible to use various databases and data stores.
Pros and Cons
  • Support for multiple programming languages and frameworks
  • Automated deployment and scaling of applications
  • Security features
  • Support for various databases and data stores
  • Support for monitoring and logging
  • Could generate yaml files automatic
  • Plugin for VS
  • Improve UI

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We started out as a corner use case for a specific development effort. A small application (net new) based on Microservices and container architecture and scale-out design. The application provides a self-service UI to actual paying external customers so the traffic can be in 100s of 1000s concurrent users checking their service status, accounts, and other data and metadata. The pilot went well and application and architecture based on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud with automation, orchestration, and almost infinite auto-scale serves as well.
Pros and Cons
  • Provisioning, orchestration and resiliency
  • Observability & monitoring
  • Deep security, reduce mystery meat in container images
  • Integration with existing CI/CD tools
  • Central repository and versioning control
  • Better API integration with a wider eco system
  • CLI, UI and API could be better in terms of usability
  • More security feature for east and west traffic, proxy and load balancing
Likelihood to Recommend
Overall Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is a great solution. If you are doing lift & shift a monolithic application and think you will benefit from the agility and scalability, you will be disappointed. All modern apps with scale-out and microservices architecture will greatly benefit from the underlying Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud infrastructure. Further, I would recommend that you beef up the bench in terms of skill set before adopting these new technologies.
Return on Investment
  • Our customer satisfaction and NPS score has had positive outcomes based on new architecture
  • We are focused on business outcomes vs running the service and maintenance
  • OpenShift on IBM Cloud has had a direct, positive impact on TCO, ROI, and payback period
  • Our staff is more focused on higher-level business activities, i.e. acquiring & customer retention
Alternatives Considered
For our particular use case, Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud was very cost-competitive. We already had RHEL, OpenShift, and Ansible skills that translated to the service. From a feature and function perspective, most solutions have a parity but being open source and less chance of vendor lock-in was a key factor as well.
IBM Cloud Portfolio
  • IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
  • IBM Cloud Container Registry
  • IBM Cloud Auto Scaling
  • IBM Cloud Object Storage
  • IBM Cloud Managed Istio
  • IBM API Connect
Better integration, use of existing skill sets, open-source and central support. Having one support contract gives us leverage for better economic outcomes. Bottom line is that we have improved customer satisfaction with self-service by providing all the key data metrics that matter to the customer. So far, our business objectives and imperatives have been met.
