Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."
"The most valuable are security features, particularly when operating in the cloud."
"The software is user-friendly and straightforward to use, which is favorable to a developer."
"The console or the GUI of OpenShift is awesome. You can do a lot of things from there. You can perform administration tasks as well as development tasks."
"More tools are available in OpenShift Container Platform to maintain and manage the clusters."
"The product is stable, reliable, and easy to use, from a well-known company, has a large volume handling capacity, and more and more organizations are moving to OpenShift."
"The platform is easy to scale as it supports Windows worker node."
"The auto scalability feature, which is based on smart agendas, determined from pre-prepared rules is the most valuable feature. You can also create different routes for deployment. Deployment types can be provided with an identifier, such as an ARB deployment. This really helped in rolling out releases without disrupting services for the end-users."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."
"Things are there and the documentation is there, however, there still needs to be quick guides available."
"There should be a simplification of the overall cluster environment. It should require fewer resources. Just to run a simple Hello World app, it requires about seven servers, and that's just crazy. I understand that it is fully redundant, but it's prohibitively expensive to get something simple going."
"With the recent trend of cloud-native, fully managed serverless services, I don't see much documentation about how a customer should move from on-prem to the cloud, or what is the best way to do a lift-and-shift. Even if you are on AWS OCP, which is self-managed infra services, and you want to use the ROSA managed services, what is the best way to achieve that migration? I don't see documentation for these kinds of use cases from Red Hat."
"Another thing that bugs me is that they removed the software in NFS storage. I don't understand why because this is a common type of storage. I am having problems with that, so I wish they would put it back."
"Getting the solution quickly and troubleshooting quickly are both areas where I think it needs some work."
"OpenShift has certain restrictions in terms of managing the cluster when it's running on a public cloud. For example, identity and access management integration with the IM of AWS is quite difficult. It requires some open-source tools to integrate. This is one area where I always see room for improvement."
"It is difficult to deploy the OpenShift cluster in a bare-metal environment."
"There is room for improvement with integration."
