Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use OpenShift to reduce our applications' overall infrastructure and support footprint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Resiliency of applications.

Cons

Documentation could be improved.
installation on bare metal is painful.

Return on Investment

It has caused a long period of additional toil as support and developers struggle to grasp the new technology.
It has allowed us to reduce our infrastructure footprint by converting VMs to containers.

Application Development and Delivery

Currently, our agility has not increased much due to some groups lagging. But we can see the improvements on the horizon.

Performance

HPAs are quick and responsive. Machine Autoscaler, however, is incredibly slow on VMware, so it's not useful to us.

Would you buy Red Hat OpenShift again?

Yes

It is a great tool for mature organizations. If you have application pipelines, experienced staff, and business investment, then OpenShift can be a big value. However, the skills needed to support container orchestration are difficult to find, so you need to prioritize talent acquisition and retention.
