We performed a comparison between Linode and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The fact that you can do any Linux distribution is great. You can try out any Linux distribution, even some of the more obscure ones, and they are always keeping them up-to-date. As soon as a new distribution comes out, it is on the platform pretty much the same day, which I find really helpful."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"On OpenShift, it's easy to scale applications. We can easily scale up or scale down."
"The operating system has a live update and is more secure than any other. It's made for Atomic OS, a lightweight OS new to the market. I also like the source-to-image capabilities. The customer can directly deploy their applications from the repository. It's a highly flexible and easy way to deploy into production."
"The best feature is the management for the port life cycle, which automatically recycles, pulls, and scales up and down based on needs and requests."
"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 most valuable features are the monitoring and logging functionalities."
"The architecture is the best. The solution is scalable if you are on a container-based solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability on demand, which allows for potentially lower costs, and Built-in resiliency."
"The most valuable feature for me in the OpenShift Container Platform is the option to manage different containers and environments and also being able to switch among them."
"I don't know how all of their services work, but my understanding is that they're not offering the entry-level machine for someone who just wants to own their own web page."
"The suitability of this solution depends on the features that you need. If you're an Uber-sized company then you're probably not going to want to start using Linode. If you are a large-sized organization then you're going to want to start using one of the bigger providers that gives you the scalability and the feature set that you are probably going to be needing in the future."
"It would be helpful if they provided the additional Linux distributions that I prefer using. But there is still a workaround. I can do it without direct support. It's a bit more complicated, but it can still be done."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"One thing that I'd really like to see is auto-scaling node pools for their Kubernetes. I don't think that they have that. That's a huge one and would be very helpful. Specifically, what I would like is auto-scaling node pools that would scale down to zero nodes, which is tricky. That's very important for certain use cases."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"The product monitoring tool does not work for us."
"The stability needs improvement."
"The price needs to be improved in OpenShift Container Platform. When I choose this, the product is the first factor that we have to make a long analysis to compare the real cost for the other services. However, price is high."
"Things are there and the documentation is there, however, there still needs to be quick guides available."
"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."
"Getting the solution quickly and troubleshooting quickly are both areas where I think it needs some work."
"The UI could be more user-friendly to drive tasks more effectively through the interface."
"The complexity of the installation could be reduced. While we got the necessary support, the instructions could be clearer."
