My Experience with Red Hat OpenShift
We use Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) to run our AAP and EDA applications. We ARO, we're able to scale up and down easily as needed, and with AAP managing over 3000 servers across multiple teams, that's a huge advantage. We are also looking into moving other Kubernetes workloads into ARO.

Red Hat OpenShift review
Right now the largest use that we're seeing for it with a lot of our customers is around Red Hat OpenShift virtualization. Due to some of the turmoil in the market and some of the moves and some of the products that are being discontinued, there's a huge demand for customers to take their virtual machine workloads and move them to another location. Right now, the best choice for that is Red Hat OpenShift virtualization.
- Red Hat has gone a very long way towards making the migration from other hypervisors, such as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization or VMware into Red Hat OpenShift virtualization. So the migration, albeit offline, works very well.
- I don't know that it would actually be possible, but minimizing the downtime and being able to facilitate a migration without service outages.

Red Hat OpenShift review
The business case is supporting the container platforms and orchestrating the container platforms. This business is more about supporting the developers. It could be anything from qualifying a component code process, CICD platforms, or a temporary platform to test the components. Hosting critical tool sets, North Star tool sets that support the world of business. It could be anything that is cloud native. There is a lot of benefits that we are getting from Red Hat OpenShift. One is ease of management. The way it helps with GitHub's principles, the way how they have componentized everything and the user has the privilege to go to the operator and select what they need and deploy it as per their requirement. Even they can customize it as per the business requirements. To speak about the benefits, I can speak the entire day about it for the time. I would say only this much. These are the use cases that I have just covered well for the entire business where all container platforms are coming nowadays, if you look at container containerization hitting the market, that is where everyone is moving forward. Everyone wants to land in that space.
- One thing is the way how it works with the GitHubs model on an enterprise business, how the hub and spoke topology works. Hub cluster topology works the way how there is a governance model to enforce policies. The R back models, the Red Hat OpenShift virtualization that supports the cube board and developer workspace is one big feature within. So yes, these are all some features I would call out.
- I wouldn't necessarily say there is look everyday technology transform. I can see a trend wherein Red Hat OpenShift is adopting all the new technology trends and helping their customers align with their priorities and the emerging technology trends. I wouldn't call out various scope for development every day. There is scope for development. It is all how the organizations adopt it and how they deliver it to their customers. I don't want to call out there is scope for development. It's happening. It is a never ending process.
- At the moment, I don't have anything to call out. We are experiencing Red Hat OpenShift and we can see every day they're coming up with new features as and when they come up with new features, we want to experience it more and more. We are looking for opportunities wherein this can be leveraged to help our users and partners.

Fantastic tool !!!
In our organization it is primary containerization and orchestration platform. It streamlines application containerization and orchestration and ensures consistent deployment. It integrates easily with DevOps for faster deployment and supports hybrid cloud setups. Its security features protects data and ensures compliance. Applications can be easiy scaled up and down based on demands.
- It automates deployment process which ensures seamless updates without any manual intervention.
- Its scaling capabilities allows application to scale both horizontally and vertically based on demand. Like, during peak traffic hours it automatically spin up extra container and spin down during off-peak hours. It efficiently manages fluctuating workloads.
- It automatically detects and recover from failure which minimizes downtime.
- UI and UX can be more simplified and that would become an added advantages along with the powerful features it offers.
- Great compatibility with many DevOps tools but faces issue integration with many third party tools.
- Network configuration is complex which can be improved by making easier network policies.

A platform you can depend on.
Interested in migrations from vsphere to rhv. I am also interested in standardizing on-prem K8s to OpenShift from a variety of other distros, including Tanzu and Rancher. Openshift has stood the test of time while other platforms have come and gone or have failed to live up to their promise. The support of the opensource community helps a lot.
- Solid on-prem k8s stack.
- Simplifies managing kubernetes.
- Adds new relevant features.
- Still complex to deploy and manage on bare metal.

Red Hat OpenShift Review
We use Red Hat OpenShift to set up clusters on client side. Some projects we are doing on client side is in finance sector. For example, we build billing platforms and we deploy Red Hat OpenShift in different stages. And what we do is we do the installation and consulting services, connecting all the other environment tools to Red Hat OpenShift to get the software up and running. We do also consulting service in building deployment pipelines to get the software on Red Hat OpenShift.
- The first interviews we have with our clients are most time they're coming from vanilla Kubernetes. And the best benefit which Red Hat OpenShift provides in very early stages, we have a supported Kubernetes platform and we have a full Red Hat support behind that. And on top of that, we can use all the other Red Hat OpenShift tools, which are already built in because it's not easy to install, monitoring, logging, for example. So I would say batteries included and that's the best fit for us and for the customers.
- I would say that's the logging part because Red Hat OpenShift write tons of locks and if most time in the finance industry, we cannot use the built in logging infrastructure for compliance reasons. And we have to forward the logs out of the system and this is, it's too much, which we forward from one cluster. Most time we'll build up multi clusters, so we speak about 10 or more clusters. And if you send log files from 10 or more clusters, the logging systems are not prepared to take that much load. And then really often you have license problems with the logging system, so that's not really, really fun. So logging could be improved.

OpenShift the flexible k8s.
Our customers use OpenShift as a secure on-prem platform for microservices. They don't want to lock themselves to one cloud provider; rather, they want to be able to switch between them if necessary or combine the on-prem cluster in a hybrid solution to run their workload wherever it fits best.
- Easy to use web gui.
- Integration with operators.
- Ability to run anywhere.
- Image mirroring for offline environments.
- Gitops configuration for every Red Hat product on top of Openshift.

Great
It is a very good product for on-prem management. It is easy to pre-configure and use, and it has good security capabilities to enhance application security. Its reliability is great. It is the Best open-source product used so far in this space. There are other ones as well, but Red Hat Openshift beats all of them.

Singular platform integration. One of the hardest parts of working in a high end department is the lack of locations where you can initiate your workflow. With Red Hat OpenShift you are able to work in the same area and keep everything on one platform. With Red Hat OpenShift we’ve been able to speed up production and get work done faster.

I would Highly Recommend
From a distributor perspective, we engage with business partners or resellers to promote and sell Red Hat OpenShift to their end clients. In all honesty, we don't have an issue with the product since we don't directly use the product. From our customers perspective, the only thing they don't really care for (from the feedback I've received) is that they are under IBM. As for the product itself, I haven't heard anything really negative.
- cloud-native
- automating application
- can deploy on many platforms
- enhance security
We are using it for some of our largest and most important applications. Our implementation is on Power and support for applications and other pieces of it lag behind the x86 side of things. However, we like power as it has more 'power' than on x86 platforms. I think that if people understood this more and that the Power platform isn't something to fear, more would adopt it as it is also more secure.

Red Hat OpenShift Review
App modernisation for various applications for us as well as our customer. It’s helping us and our customers on Prem as well as on cloud. Multiple applications have been modernised using Red Hat OpenShift and other related products and solutions. Its giving us various benefits from legacy applications to app modernisation
- App modernisation
- Security
- Management
- Scalable
- Cost
- NFR for partners
- Combined GTM
I'm a Red Hat partner and we use Red Hat OpenShift to deliver our customer's app modernization projects.
Most of them rely on their on premises infrastructure, so Red Hat OpenShift can build a solid foundation to run their traditional apps while we work on the modernization process.
Another challenge we help our customer's with Red Hat OpenShift is their vanilla Kubernetes environment that lacks automation and monitoring, so we can deliver a fully integrated application platform with OCP and OCP Plus.
