Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

I mainly use openscap to scan for vulnerabilities in the system and ensure compliance.

Pros

  • Technical product descriptions
  • Scalability
  • SELinux is a good program

Cons

  • More flexibility on cloud based products
  • Flexibility for security based systems
  • Takes a while to speak to a live agent expert
  • Improved security process efficiency
  • Positive educational impact for security initiative for new employees
  • All technical educational material provided by Redhat for OpenShift is easy to understand and teach early career employees.
  • Improves developer productivity
We are able to test and edit our compliance in a very stream-line, easy to use fashion using openscap.
Openscap is efficient and easy to use.

Using Red Hat OpenShift

300 - This is only my project. Most of the 300 people are software developers using OpenShift functions in updating the system. Within this is system engineers, integration team, etc. A large (legacy) system like ours uses OpenShift products in different capacities across the development and integration pipeline.
I don't believe we have any redhat representatives in-house to support OpenShift usage. What we do have, and what I use, is my boss who used to be a linux administrator and has a long history of experience working with Linux and Redhat products. He has contacts within Redhat. Others within my program have the same experience and expertise. We have not found redhat support to be difficult to access. We usually easily access the support we need, especially because we are tied to such a large corporation (RTX).
  • Beginning to use containerization products more
  • Vulnerability and compliance scanning of the system (security)
  • Developer sandbox (I THINK)
  • We are trying a new type of containerization for tar balls within open shifts capabilities. It would be a large transition from what we are doing now, but efficient in the long run.
  • Openscap scanner has worked great and we are switching to.
  • Experimenting with cloud capabilities, but our organization is very limited to cloud access.
  • The tar container method
  • cloud computing (eventually)
  • Implementing security more into the software development pipeline using OpenShift methods
We are transitioning our system from Solaris to SELinux. Of course it makes sense that we are going to renew our OpenShift subscription to use the tools and be more compliant with the FAA's preferred software security standards, which are heavily supported by redhat.
