Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

[Red Hat] OpenShift is used in my organization as a platform environment to easily host and scale applications. It solves the problem for our organization of having to continually have our ops team spin up new servers (either virtual or bare metal) and have them grumble about needing to patch yet more servers. [Red Hat] OpenShift allowed the development team to take ownership of its own hosting requirements and allowed the team to control its own needs and scaling.
  • Gears/containers
  • Scaling
  • Deploying new applications is a breeze
  • Excellent configuration and management controls through tools
  • [The] development team can take control of its own hosting and scaling needs without the need for any other team's involvement (apart from the initial setup of course)
  • Performant
  • Polished
  • The shift from v2 to v3 was a huge transition, and Red Hat [OpenShift] really failed at making this step easy for users - their documentation at the time was fairly lacking
  • When things go wrong it can be hard to diagnose
  • Scaling
  • Command line tools to manage
  • Easy to use
  • Gears/containers
  • Routing
  • Load balancing
  • Cartridge/images
  • Increased development teams efficiency and freed up operations team resources
  • Less actual servers to manage
  • Better team autonomy
  • Ease for scaling
[Red Hat] OpenShift is better as an actual environment, whereas Linode and GCE are more cloud-based VPS services. It depends on how fine you want your control, or if you want to have a certain underlying OS. Red Hat [OpenShift] will do more for you as a platform, but if you would prefer to manage things in a totally custom way, Linode or GCE are excellent choices.
