RHCOS is supported only as a component of OpenShift Container Platform 4.18 for all OpenShift Container Platform machines. RHCOS is the only supported operating system for OpenShift Container Platform control plane, or master, machines. While RHCOS is the default operating system for all cluster machines, you can create compute machines, which are also known as worker machines, that use RHEL as their operating system. There are two general ways RHCOS is deployed in OpenShift Container Platform 4.18:
- If you install your cluster on infrastructure that the installation program provisions, RHCOS images are downloaded to the target platform during installation. Suitable Ignition config files, which control the RHCOS configuration, are also downloaded and used to deploy the machines.
- If you install your cluster on infrastructure that you manage, you must follow the installation documentation to obtain the RHCOS images, generate Ignition config files, and use the Ignition config files to provision your machines.
- For more information please see the Deploying RHCOS documentation.

Seamless upgrades have protected business operations and support secure, flexible deployments
Reviewed on Jan 15, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
The primary use cases include troubleshooting issues, installation, implementation, and design.
What is most valuable?
The benefits I have seen from using Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform include that it provides a seamless application business, and the business is never going to be impacted because deployments and upgrades can be completed without impacting the real business. Seamless activity can also be performed on the cluster without impacting the application.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 's policy-based governance has helped my organization maintain application security at scale because ACS is also there, and Red Hat is always maintaining things with hardening methods, always coming with hardened images, and we are frequently upgrading the minor and major versions, so it will be mitigated in that way.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform's hybrid and multi-cloud support will help to move applications, and if in the future any other platform wants to move, it is easy for the application to move from one platform to another without major impact.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform's auto-scaling capabilities have helped handle workload variations majorly at the HPA level at the pod level, but at the node level, we are not using the cloud mechanism, and that is why we are not enabling the node level.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform's developer-first workflow has contributed to enhancing my team's productivity because we have many custom scripts that give us reports of everything, ODR, and health-related things, so based on productivity, we are taking actions on that.
What needs improvement?
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform needs some improvements, for example, in upgrade time, as normally, an extended upgrade method should be allowed, but sometimes if anyone clicks twice, it tries to upgrade the second level and gets stuck, so that area should be enhanced.
The strictness of the SSD and HDD also should be aligned, because in some environments, we cannot strictly make some rules related to HDD, since Red Hat is strictly making a rule after 4.16 to adopt SSD instead of HDD, which in some environments will not allow, so some workaround should be done on that.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is the best option, but as many companies and the world are mainly looking for security purposes, the clear text format needs to be adopted instead of any third party. Red Hat has to develop its own product, as HashiCorp and CyberArk Conjur exist, but Red Hat needs to protect the clear text format because the secret should not be seen by anyone. Currently, it is a clear text method allowing anyone in the namespace to see the username and password, which should be controlled in that way.
The major improvements needed are related to upgrade time and strict rule-making.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform for almost eight years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, I also worked with OKD separately and Kubernetes .
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is straightforward because I am using extra features like govc from VMware to update the parameters and these kinds of things, so it is easy on that, with no issues.
What other advice do I have?
I feel that the pricing of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform depends on the salespeople, as they can decide that, with some companies giving a cheap price and others giving a high price for the same things. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.
