Overall Satisfaction with OpenShift

Our team provides infrastructure for hundreds of applications. We implemented OpenShift as a cloud computing platform as a service. It helps our application developers to get a cloud environment where they can build, test, deploy and run applications. It helps app teams from simple application hosting, to building new service offerings, to eventually hosting your own platform. It has improved resource utilization.
  • Application Scaling: Auto scaling feature helps application teams to get the resources on the fly without wait time ( provisioning time).
  • Single platform supports multiple technologies, web cartridges and add on cartridges which helps application teams to avoid unnecessary time spent on installing and procuring software.
  • Friendly URL, clients can select the alias name as required.
  • Gear movement from one district to another.
  • Storage accessibility for auto scaled gears.
  • Gear distribution across different data centers.
  • Resource Utilization.
  • Developer friendly.
  • For production environments it has some performance issues.
For large scale applications it might be hard to manage load by provisioning gears within same host.
