Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (self-managed)
Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift
It is used across the company to manage container instances. [The] problem it addresses is to help monitor the health of the containers, troubleshoot issues by viewing the logs, providing a self-service UI to restart the container without needing help from the operations team. The platform also allows us to manage multiple environments which reduces a lot of the overhead compared to managing Virtual Machines.
- Managing multiple container instances across different environments
- Allows real time tracing of logs
- Relatively simple UI which does not take much training to get used to
- There is a limit to how much logs can be viewed on the browser
- No feature to search the logs (like how it can be done on Splunk)
- Absence of graphical representation of CPU and Memory usage
- Logs monitoring
- The UI provides a quick way to check if containers are running
- Manage multiple environments (QA/Dev) through the same portal
- Reduce [the] friction of monitoring environments. This leads to [a] quicker troubleshooting process.
- Completely remove the need to authenticate each and every time you want to check on a specific environment.
- Faster deployment workflow increases [the] efficiency of developers when testing in lower environment containers.
