Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is a container application platform based on Kubernetes, that leverages our ability to start very quickly any containerized application developed with different languages, plus CI/CD, monitoring and logging and security.

I prefer RedHat OpenShift because with kubernetes there are tons more installations and work effort required to get applications ready to run in the containerized environment. RedHat OpenShift is faster and easier to get up and running.

Planning to do so late. The evaluation for more vendors is in the cooking, pending budget approval & assignment to the right top guns. With the recession looming, I do wish that this key project could get approved & more discoveries could be made soon as I wished before.

We are using IBM Cloud App ID as a simple method to get an OIDC provider for our applications, that are running within the OpenShift cluster. Also, IBM Cloud Object Storage is used within the workload to store data via an s3 compliant way. The IBM Cloud Container Registry is an easy way to store the container images, that are used within the OpenShift cluster. Especially we configured the system in such a way to stop the image delivery if the container images are vulnerable. IBMs Cloud Pak for Integration and Business Automation is providing a rich feature set, that is tackling a lot of use-cases. They are both installable in the provided cluster easily.

We evaluated a number of potential solutions and ultimately chose Red Hat OpenShift because it was compatible with our existing technology. Time and costs savings have been realized throughout the company since we implemented Red Hat OpenShift, and the IT department has been freed up to focus on activities that are more valuable.

  • Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
Red hat Openshift had a better user interface by far. Amazon EKS's was so basic it was essentially useless. We had to use a separate tool called lens to get basic stuff done. Lens was buggy and didn't work as well though, even for basic functionality like updating a K8s secret.

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.

For one of our banking clients, I have explored and played around the Kubernetes platform on IBM Cloud. In the process to deploy the application, I had to create the deployment artifacts, which was quite cumbersome. But then for one of the automotive clients I was asked to build and deploy the application on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud. With the s2i tool, I was able to deploy the application with less hassle, which basically creates all the deployment yaml files.
