Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift
My team and I use Red Hat OpenShift primary for our CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) pipeline, along with using it for database analytics. If our databases' threads experience starvation, Red Hat is one of the tools we mainly use to analyze the data in order to search for potential root causes.
- It's incredibly easy to manage the containers and potential issues that may happen within those containers.
- The Graphic User Interface (GUI) is great, so much so that I don't find myself using CLI (Command Line Interface) much.
- It has Kubernetes functionality built in.
- I find that, specifically, Secret Management is rather tricky, given the way the interface is designed.
- I wish there were more documentation/built-in modules around the overall usage/use cases of Red Hat. If I were to start from the beginning, I would most likely spend a lot of time trying to learn how to use Red Hat effectively.
- The monitoring functionality could be improved (timing of how it's displayed and details of what is actually happening). I find myself digging after the monitor triggers an alert vs seeing what the issue is at a glance.
- Definitely, the biggest ROI we've had is better container management and horizontal scaling, which then results in better operational efficiencies that help continue to scale/stabilize our application.
- Increased time in identifying database issues and their root causes.
- Increased productivity from how we are able to utilize the horizontal auto scaler.
One of the noticeable (positive) impacts Red Hat has had is the way we are able to investigate, identify, and better approach database issues. By analyzing the data/results from Red Hat, we find that getting to the root cause (and addressing/resolving it) has increased by at least 25%.
