Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift
We use Red Hat OpenShift to provide a developer platform for a diverse range of application teams across our Enterprise. It solves secure development across multiple cloud environments. Our use cases involve AWS, Azure, VMware and edge deployments, and we are also looking at whether OpenShift AI would streamline LLM development in the future.
Pros
- User interface for a range of skill levels
- Secure by default - security control contexts
- Portable across all environments we have tried
Cons
- Multi-tenant clusters - default network policies
- Challenging to automate and configure at scale
- Compatibility with teams using standard Kubernetes
- Decreased time to market
- Decreased cost savings
- Increased security posture
Red Hat has increased our efficiency around app dev processes for experienced, but has also introduced a large skills learning curve for new developers, which we are mitigating with dedicated coaching programmes for teams.
We use Red Hat infrastructure across AWS, Azure, VMware and are looking at edge environments. We value the consistent experience the platform provides across each of these cases, because it decreased application developers' time to get something running in production.
