Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (self-managed)

Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

We currently utilize Red Hat OpenShift for our on prem/cloud container solution. We are largely shifting a lot of our older software applications to the cloud in our "Cloud First" movement which also entails all new product development to consider pushing app development to containers.

Pros

  • Quick application deployment
  • Quick API gateway calls and distribution
  • Quick application recovery
  • Speed to production

Cons

  • Better SSO operator integration
  • IPI isn't in a state for ease of use
  • Upgrade branch paths sometimes are quirky and often times no consistent from cluster to cluster
  • Definitely faster time to market
  • Fail Fast methodology
  • Product development failure has a quick turn around
Red Hat OpenShift has allowed our developers to have QA and Dev playgrounds which has allowed for quick testing, a quick turn around for pipeline deployments. It has really opened the floodgates on development, removing a decent amount of bottlenecks in our product development efforts. Additionally this has allowed for our end product to production time to increase 3x.
The issues we see during high use periods, we have had issues with some of the default throughput of our routers within Red Hat OpenShift. Granted some of these does fall on developers to create a more efficient software and to create more logical calls. With assistance from Red Hat we've been able to work through some of these hurdles.
The biggest reason we chose Red Hat OpenShift is because of our partnership and contract agreement with them. With our needs, were able to get assistance when we need it which is imperative in our area of work.
