OpenShift Primary Use Case

Jan Kappert
OpenShift consultant at HCS Company
We have deployed OpenShift on-premises on VMware and Azure, but not the managed platform. We manage the deployment ourselves, doing our own customizations.

NetApp is our storage provider and we have a product called Astra Control Center. We can back up and restore our containerized applications that are running on OpenShift. We use it to create a disaster recovery site for our business-critical containerized application.
Our second use case is for cloud bursting. When we have fewer resources available on-prem, we can move some of our non-critical applications to the cloud.
Our production environment can be run on AWS or any other cloud where we've deployed OpenShift, while we have our test and development environments on-prem. Once an application is certified, it can be moved from development to the production environment using Astra Control Center.

We use the solution to run our own software. Our software is different from the banking system, and it's mostly written in Java with a backend, an Angular frontend, MongoDB, and some caches.

Our use cases for OpenShift are for payments and internal bank transactions.
View full review »These are for some of our applications where we wanted high resiliency. In the traditional VM environment, what used to happen is that everything was dependent on the infrastructure. We wanted to move away from that particular concept. Once an application becomes stateless, it should not be dependent upon platform-related things. We wanted it to be more robust and perform at a much better efficiency. We also wanted higher availability.
We are getting everything from OpenShift at this point in time. What we're doing here is pretty much basic. Any of Kubernetes could have done it because all we're looking for is being able to manage the complete cluster.
View full review »We are not using it for our core banking or any critical application. It's just for our remediation services. We have an ITSM tool, which is running on that, et cetera.

We've both cloud and on-prem installation of the tool. For the cloud installation, we use the AWS cloud.

EisaShaheen
DevOps Engineer at Nudtteo
I'm currently engaged in developing containerized microservices applications, managing thirteen modules within an OpenShift environment. These modules collectively handle automated payment processes for various services. My role involves closely monitoring these modules on OpenShift, ensuring optimal resource allocation such as storage and CPU usage. Additionally, I'm tasked with implementing solutions for scenarios of resource overutilization, including autoscaling capabilities to accommodate high traffic periods efficiently. I also focus on scaling down resources during low-traffic periods to optimize cost and performance.

View full review »Usually, we use it as a test environment and to quickly develop the proof of concept for various projects. So, it's mainly for quick deployment and testing.
It's deployed on the cloud and on-premises.
OpenShift as a solution is quite broad depending on the industry you are applying it to. For example, telco companies use the entire breadth of applications that the client wants from the web to their middle tier up to the back end.
OpenShift is a platform for ensuring that your apps are running reliably.

Compared to OpenStack, OpenShift is the best product in the market. There are plenty of cloud service providers who use OpenStack or other open-source products, but OpenShift is the best. Even AWS is just an okay product, but they have different proprietary software, which is not the same as OpenShift.

OpenShift is a container orchestration tool. We have been using it for hosting products on container-based applications.
We use the solution to split monolithic into microservices. I mostly use OpenShift as a Kubernetes distribution.

We have a PaaS solution built on OpenShift with more templates and shared services for a containerized application environment.
So, the solution built will be using PaaS that is built on Openshift and hosted in a hybrid PaaS (dedicated & AWS) for building, deploying, and managing microservices-based applications.
We will be using many features of OpenShift for scalability, availability, and security (TLS/OAuth, IdAM integration).

Cloud Native Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
I have used OpenShift in two companies. My earlier company was using a CI/CD pipeline. I customized the CI/CD pipeline in Java and then in Jenkins. We used it to deploy applications in different stages in the CI/CD. In my current company we are using CloudBees Core. They have a CI/CD pipeline and using that we deploy with the OpenShift platform.
If any application team wants to deploy an application on a container platform, we offer a platform for that. If they want to deploy a microservice application and they want to use a microservices architecture, we provide a space for that. OpenShift is running on the AWS platform, which means that deployment is highly scalable and highly retainable. People who want to deploy an application with a zero-downtime infrastructure prefer using the to OpenShift platform.

TomazBorstnar
Director and Head of IT at a non-tech company
In short, OpenShift is about running and developing applications in a very efficient manner without the need to mess with virtual machines and other environments.
Longer version: OpenShift is a system for developing and running container-based applications. It uses Kubernetes for the orchestration and deployment, but it is much more than that. With excellent self-provisioning capabilities, it helps power users (developers and administrators) to do their jobs in the shortest time possible. If applications are built with the best practices for cloud or on-premise deployment, they will run well. Such setup saves time and hardware resources by being optimized from the start. Security is also an important part of this solution. By default, things are running with limited privileges and securely confined to their own resources. This way, different users and projects can all use the same infrastructure.

OpenShift is a primary tool in my daily work and in the project I have been working on in recent years – TV streaming services used widely in the U.S. and outside. OpenShift is used for intensive DevOps and running pieces of the project adhering to the microservices architecture. The project's architecture includes physical servers in tens of datacenters. OpenShift plays a central role in developing, testing, and running specific software.
