Product Details

What is Red Hat OpenShift?

Red Hat® OpenShift® is a unified platform to build, modernize, and deploy applications at scale. It includes an enterprise-ready Kubernetes solution with a choice of deployment and consumption options to meet the needs of the business. OpenShift delivers a consistent experience across public cloud, on-premise, hybrid cloud, or edge architecture. It includes multiple advanced open source capabilities that are tested and integrated with the underlying certified Kubernetes environment, such as Red Hat OpenShift Serverless, Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines, and Red Hat OpenShift GitOps. Red Hat OpenShift gives users the choice of running cloud services or self-managed editions:

Cloud Services Editions
  • Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS: A turnkey application platform that provides a managed Red Hat OpenShift service running natively on Amazon Web Services (AWS) used by organizations to increase operational efficiency, refocus on innovation, and build, deploy, and scale applications.
  • Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift: Red Hat and Microsoft jointly engineer, manage, and support the platform, used by organizations to increase operational efficiency, refocus on innovation, and quickly build, deploy, and scale applications.
  • Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated: A managed Red Hat OpenShift offering on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud.
  • Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud: A managed Red Hat OpenShift cloud service that reduces operational complexity and helps organizations build and scale applications with the security of IBM Cloud.
Why choose Red Hat OpenShift cloud services?
Red Hat OpenShift cloud services automate the deployment and management of Red Hat OpenShift clusters, so organizations can build, deploy and scale applications quickly without having to incorporate and learn new technologies and processes, or manage integrations. It also helps users to:
  • Reduce security & compliance risk through 24x7 global SRE coverage.
  • Limit operational and staffing dependencies attached to particular providers.
  • Reduce integration bottlenecks with repeatability and consistency for multi-cloud deployments.

Self-Managed Editions
Why choose self-managed Red Hat OpenShift?
Red Hat OpenShift self-managed editions provide more control and flexibility over OpenShift deployments. Self-managed editions allow deployment on any private or public cloud, on bare metal, or at the edge. In addition, long-term support provides flexible life cycles providing the option to choose when to upgrade to the next version of Red Hat OpenShift.

Since moving to RHOS we are more conscious about the resources that applications are using as they are finite. We are also more deliberate in security choosing non-root container images as RHOS disallows running containers with root privileges.
Having multiple way to interact with the RHOS we can easily look at the logs via console or use CLI tools.

OpenShift has drastically improved the speed at which we can deploy new code to our applications. We utilize Jenkins and give developers access to push new builds to our manifest files as an image tag. Openshift reaches out to our Nexus repo and deploys the pod without issue. Developers have also been given access to the console, which allows them to watch the deployment logs and address issues without engineer intervention. OCP has expedited this process and removed multiple manual steps.

We now have multiple (too many to count) CI/CD pipelines that greatly impact our ability to develop, deploy, update, and maintain our applications (at the push of a button). This gives our developers the freedom to work at their pace, and not have to wait for others to approve their containers going into the cluster.

Red Hat OpenShift helped us make the devops culture adoption easier across the IT department, by making the Microservices based softwares easier to deploy, monitor and maintain.many performance and security features that were previoulsly home made are now linked to the platform features with easy to set policies. the integration of GitOps through the OpenShift source2image tool is very convenient and made deployment workflows stronger.

It provides a single platform for helping developers and end-users to collaborate and be involved in the process from the inception of a application, to testing the workload whether it's in cloud or in on-prem type environment, all the way from development to production. Furthermore, it fosters engagement for developers to collaborate.

I can't comment on the development part as I am not the developer but I can tell about the deployment that it is greatly enhanced with the integration of GitOps with Red Hat OpenShift. The maintenance is also easy for the infrastructure because the Red Hat OpenShift console provides all the policy based alerts in the governance tab

Devops environment is using Red Hat OpenShift cluster on multiple nodes, this allows us to create openshift clusters on demand , where most of the applications can be tested, deployed, before moving to production. This on demand approach has allowed us to efficiently use the available hardware and get most out of it.

We had a log of legacy applications, and we are in the midst of a multi-year effort to migrate to the cloud. OpenShift has helped us port applications over to the hybrid cloud solution - which is a requirement in our financial industry, given the data security constraints. We've been able to optimize our resources and automatically scale when trading volumes increase.

We have that 24/7 availability. The moment we moved most of our critical assets to date, we haven't heard anything, any problem with our availability. So if you talk about certain nines, yes, I would say it is like four nines. We are able to maintain that on our Red Hat OpenShift.

I think it's been a positive impact and it's still transitioning. So we are with Red Hat OpenShift and ever getting more and more teams working with it, finding that we can really standardize a lot on how we do that delivery. And we haven't, haven't ever had that in the past, right? If there are 12 different teams, there are 12 different ways to do app delivery and now we're all starting to converge into a single pattern, which I think has been very good. It's definitely eased some of the cognitive load for development teams so that they can get to where they need to go faster and don't have to learn new technologies

Positive impact. We use OpenShift extensively for our container workloads, which can be COTS or homegrown. We also plan to use it as a landing zone for general-purpose VMs or VMS that would benefit from K8s APIs and pipelines. We look forward to the production release of hosted control planes, which will be very beneficial.
