Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift
We use it to streamline our deployment workflows and save time/effort. We have a limited time window to do our deployments due to the nature of our 24/7 business. Hence it's important to do it quickly and accurately the first time. OpenShift helps us with faster time to market. Standard containers help us scale based on our trading volume.
- Auto scaling.
- Container orchestration.
- Multi cluster management.
- Ease of deployment.
- Support
- Developer experience (installation, logs, debugging).
- Cost
- It has helped us reduce headcount by 20% and combine various infra, support teams into SRE roles.
- Faster time to market helped us reduce weekend work for developers by 50%.
- Developers could deliver business goals as they didn't have to focus constantly on infra challenges.
We had a log of legacy applications, and we are in the midst of a multi-year effort to migrate to the cloud. OpenShift has helped us port applications over to the hybrid cloud solution - which is a requirement in our financial industry, given the data security constraints. We've been able to optimize our resources and automatically scale when trading volumes increase.
- AWS Auto Scaling and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
OpenShift is more flexible and can be deployed On-prem and on the cloud. Openshift was easier for the development teams to get up to speed and understand k8 terminology.
