  • RBAC
  • Private Registry.
  • Integration with Third Party Tools.
  • Reduce complexity In Openshift Configuration.
  • Authentication using GitHub.
  • Optimised Infrastructure Need to setup.
  • Easy RBAC.
  • Easy Integration.
  • Faster Development Productivity.
It improved the overall developer efficiency by easy integration.
Applications deployed using the Openshift platform performed as per their usage and architecture, but internal capabilities provided by Openshift help to configure internal scaling during spikes and heavy loads.
We evaluated the native Kubernetes before selecting Openshift because of Production Support, RBAC, Integration, and build capabilities, including Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment.
