Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

I am in the process of configuring a single host cluster in my homelab environment to transition from standalone docker to utilizing the networking, security, storage, and availability benefits of Red Hat OpenShift. The ability to manage both kubernetes clusters and vms is of particular interest to simplify and improve my environment.

Pros

  • Organization of clusters, PV/Cs, and policies
  • Configuration in a GUI and YAML
  • Binding to repositories to pull site/container configurations

Cons

  • Setting up storage PVs, PVCs, and Storage Classes isn't a straight forward process making it difficult to get started in setting up environments.
  • It would be helpful to have more information about tagging and how that can be used to better organize and apply policies.
I have used it in my on prem homelab environment and combined with CI/CD performing rolling updates as changes are made makes it helpful to use in constantly changing environments.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
It is well suited for environments of any size. The deployment options make it easily adoptable by any size organization that is looking at deploying kubernetes workloads. The offer of free support for any installation for a limited time is extremely beneficial for enterprises that are looking at testing Red Hat OpenShift in their environment.
