Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat OpenShift

OpenShift brings a cloud native capabilites to our internal developments teams to allow faster deployment, and better access to a contantainer orchestration

Pros

  • The Ui increases adoption and promotes learning
  • OpenShift brings cloud tooling on premise
  • OpenShift has access to a wide variety of extended functionality via operators

Cons

  • The Add-on ACM component is not intuitive
  • Managing many clusters does not scale easily
  • lowered cognative load on teams
  • lowered time to get a development environment created
  • lowers on-boarding time
With access to cloud native tools time to deployment for our development teams has reduced substantially.
We have only used OpenShift on premises but look forward to using it across public cloud also
In our case we have only evaluated OpenShift as we were an existing Red Hat customer. But it was essentially a replacement for self-built open-source kubernetes and as enterprise implementation of, it is superiour. Easier to install, easier to user, more intuitive for developers.
