Overall Satisfaction with OpenShift

RedHat Openshift is used across the whole organization to cover 2 needs. First foster a DevOps culture between developers and the middleware team. Secondly standardize the way applications are implemented based on a limited set of docker images and homogenize all configuration properties through a unified all-in-one property file defining JMS queues, JDBC databases, web-services url etc...
  • Openshift has an intuitive easy-to-use web interface as well as an OC client if you need to automate (oc stand for Openshift client).
  • Openshift concepts are clear and well defined (pod, route, probe etc...).
  • Fast, stable with an integrated monitoring tool that covers most the needs.
  • I would like to use another CI tool instead of Jenkins.
  • It would be useful to have a tool to apply global changes on all applications across all tenants at once.
  • An integrated statistical module keeping historical data would be interesting.
  • ROI was positive because of far better operational costs.
  • New clients have been attracted because of the container technology that allows them to deploy easily their own apps.
  • OpenShift helps to create a DevOps culture.
OpenShift is a CAAS (container as a service platform). This is a virtualization technology that can compare with traditionnal VAAS (VM as a service) technologies but Openshift is lightweight and fast. Everybody in the IT world is now going to Containers. This is a disruptive technology that is now mature.
Openshift is well suited if you want to go for docker and kubernetes but you want to hide the complexity of these 2 technologies. Openshift is a layer above these 2 technologies that makes easy to use container technology. If you already have RedHat OpenStack (for VM technology) you shouldn't use OpenShift.
