Use Cases and Deployment Scope

So my team with the automation team assists what we call the portal team in maintaining their OpenShift environment, their deployments, and their backups, as well as maintaining our Ansible a p platform on OpenShift, running an operator. So my team and I are doing most of the heavy lifting on the OpenShift side for what we call the Bell Self-serve portal.

Pros and Cons

Obviously, it does container orchestration very well because it's the main purpose of the product. Creating routes has been very easy with the product, creating accessible routes, managing quotas, managing our workspace and our workload has been very efficient with this as well as managing our horizontal scalability.

Sometimes the error messages are very vague when they happen and we have to dig in a lot longer than we should have just to find the exact error message in some lug. Whereas it could have been clear in the events, I assume. Aside from that, that's pretty much what I can think of off the top of my head.

Return on Investment

Definitely positive because it is much more user-friendly than the competition, so we can get things done a lot faster.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well, in our case, because I have two use cases, one is with the operator, which obviously is super easy with OpenShift because it's just click, click start aside from the issue from the operator. But that's a different interview. And the other point is for the web portal that our portal team uses, it's very easy. Two perform a task needed for them to do their deployment, their pipelines, and their daily Java.
