As a developer, 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. It is crutial for a developer to have Support for multiple programming languages and frameworks, automated deployment and scaling of applications, built-in continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools as long security.

OpenShift on IC is most recommended for enterprise level applications where failure recovery and uptime is critical, with minimal manual intervention, to ensure least downtime. However, it can be a bit of an overkill for disjoint, standalone applications which can be spun up and down manually

RedHat OpenShift is not only suited for IBM Cloud but can run in ANY cloud. We installed in Azure Cloud, for example. It can also run on Linux servers or a Power 9 machine. It is built for multi-cloud or on-prem environments. IBM support provides such excellent guidance in the installation and configuration that no other product on the market can beat it.

You should use Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud when you want to easily try out IBM's great CloudPak capabilities. There is integrated experience to install it on this cluster, which makes it easy to install. Within our company, we use it mainly for PoCs and PoTs, development, and testing. According to the high costs of the offering, we do not use it for the long term. There are other providers, that are providing OpenShift for less money.

Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is well-suited for situations where you want to deploy a large amount of applications within a Kubernetes cluster where you want to directly convert your source code in to containerized applications and add it to the cluster with minimum effort. It provides a great way to manage and monitor your cluster without having to go to a lot of effort.

OpenShift is well suited if you want to use docker and [Kubernetes] but you want to hide the complexity of these two technologies. It gives a developer much more freedom in terms of code deployment, builds process, and implementation. One of its strengths is scaling and you can easily configure it for each application.

There are no systems in the market at the moment that boast the same characteristics as those of Red Hat OpenShift. This system is able to build an infrastructure that meets the massive scalability, long-term stability, and robust data security of extensive customer demands. I appreciate Red Hat Consulting for assisting with [the] deployment of the continuous integration environment.

Great for a managed container experience when you need to run a lot of containers at scale. But if you are just starting with containers, it doesn't use any other IBM / Redhat products, you probably don't need it. Instead, you could get by with something like AKS or EKS with Lens.

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.

Based on the IaaS support for the warehouse management system, we had couple of outages on the IBM Cloud and there were few instances when the firewall settings were changed inadvertently that led to the application being inaccessible. The client is thinking about moving the application to Azure or AWS.
