Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As I assume for most companies using Red Hat OpenShift, we use the platform as an efficient and automating tool to manage and deploy our containerized applications across several environments. We often use Red Hat OpenShift for our Docker containers to package applications and their dependencies and monitoring their status to help us determine if any issues arise or develop from new code changes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Great at helping develop and manage containers
Helps modernize our older applications
Gives Enterprise-Grade features needed for developming our system for our customer.

Cons

Reduce complexity for smaller teams/projects/companies
More optimization of resource consumption.
Improved debugging and troubleshooting tools.

Return on Investment

Allow more time to work on other tasks
decreased downtime
improved productivity

Efficiency

Red Hat OpenShift has definitely simplified the entire application development lifecycle for my project. Where the use of Red Hat OpenShift AI with our team is nonexistent, we do benefit from the use of other tooling such as Pipelines, Virtualization, and GitOps. Using these toolings provide increased productivity among the team and allow for easier automation and development.

Infrastructure

All of our environments are on-premises so does not allow for us to use cloud programs such as AWS and google cloud, however, Red Hat OpenShift still provides the application development and delivery capabilities needed to satisfy our customer. We leverage Red Hat OpenShift across all our environments and allows for one system overwatching everything.

Alternatives Considered

Red Hat OpenShift was the product that my team has been using since I've joined so it has been the only product in this area that I have used. With that being said, I have really no complaints and love implemented Red Hat OpenShift in my work to help be more efficient with my daily and weekly tasks.

Likelihood to Recommend

When working with containers on our system, there is multiple team members that may be changing, developing, and/or deploying containers around the same time of day. Using Red Hat OpenShift allows us to work seamlessly together. However, when it comes for simple changes/testing, I feel it is often quicker for me to work manually within the containers to then just make developments and then redeploy.
