Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift
We are a heavy consumer of Red Hat OpenShift. We use Red Hat OpenShift to host applications that do not currently use or need persistent storage. We have over 200,000 running containers across 64 clusters, and it solves the problem of moving away from the monolithic architecture and utilize microservices which Red Hat OpenShift easily allows us to do.
Pros
- Easily deploy Kubernetes Pods in a user friendly way
- Great support for the product when issues arise in the environment
- Maintenance and patching the environment is easier than ever
Cons
- Sometimes alerting can be genetic and hard to troubleshoot, usually the alert is indirectly correlated to another issue
- Sometimes the UI can be slow at responding to listing pods, containers, etc
- The ability to easily scale applications across datacenters
- Savings on hardware costs due to the nature of Kubernetes
I do not have much experience with the development side of things. I can comment that Service Mesh and OCP-V has been solid products and we are currently testing some other products that could help meet our business objectives
We are fully on-prem and have connections in 3 datacenters. We utilize Red Hat OpenShift in all of our non-production environments as well as production
