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.

Versatile, Costly but Complex Cloud Solution
Reviewed on Nov 21, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Red Hat OpenShift is built on Kubernetes, which significantly enhances my ability to streamline developer workflows. This integration allows me to leverage Kubernetes' powerful orchestration tools, providing a robust infrastructure for deploying and managing containerized applications at scale. Additionally, I appreciate the granular control it offers, enabling me to fine-tune deployments according to specific needs across hybrid cloud environments. This level of control is crucial in optimizing resource allocation and ensuring efficient application management.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find Red Hat OpenShift to be a bit costly, which can be a significant consideration when managing budgets. Additionally, even though there are numerous configuration options available, the platform tends to feel quite opinionated, which can lead to a steep learning curve for users trying to fully leverage its capabilities. Moreover, the initial setup process is somewhat complex, which can be daunting when first getting started with the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Red Hat OpenShift for deploying and managing containerized applications at scale across hybrid cloud environments, streamlining my developer workflow with its Kubernetes foundation and granular control.

Streamlines Deployment but Complexity and Cost Persist
Reviewed on Nov 21, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Red Hat OpenShift for its ability to streamline developer workflows in application development and modernization. Its unified enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform simplifies complexity, automates manual tasks, and ensures consistency across deployments. I love its consistent and automated environment which allows developers to build and deploy applications effortlessly across various platforms. The initial setup is highly automated, requiring minimal user input beyond configuration, which the cloud provider and Red Hat manage effectively. This automation simplifies the process significantly, allowing for a quick and efficient deployment through the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find Red Hat OpenShift to be quite complex, particularly when managing configurations for security settings, networking, and storage across multiple clusters and environments. This complexity can make the initial setup challenging and often requires a significant investment in training and support. Additionally, the cost associated with using Red Hat OpenShift is a concern, given the resource demands it imposes. Furthermore, there are certain integration issues which can complicate its use with other tools or systems, affecting the overall seamlessness we aim for in our workflows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat OpenShift simplifies application development and modernization, automates manual tasks, and ensures consistency by providing a unified, enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform, streamlining developer workflows.

Effortless Containerization and Deployment
Reviewed on Nov 18, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Red Hat OpenShift for its seamless support in hosting our Maximo application suite, notably through its capabilities in easy containerization and simplified deployment processes with pipelines. The platform stands out for its ease of installation and maintenance, which significantly reduces the complexity typically associated with such tasks. Moreover, I find the options like auto-scaler of nodes and descheduler extremely valuable, especially as the auto-scaler adeptly adjusts the number of nodes based on utilization, ensuring optimal load management and consistent performance. This automation is crucial in maintaining a reliable performance without manual intervention. The initial setup was straightforward, facilitated by using playbooks, which helped streamline the process efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that the monitoring features in Red Hat OpenShift could be improved. Specifically, there is a lack of inbuilt viewing dashboards that I believe would enhance the usability and effectiveness of the monitoring capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Red Hat OpenShift streamlines containerization and deployment, making hosting applications easy. It supports autoscaling for performance and maintains minimal load, while installation and maintenance are straightforward.

Effortless Kubernetes Monitoring with OpenShift
Reviewed on Nov 18, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about OpenShift is that it serves as an advanced, out-of-the-box solution for monitoring our Kubernetes cluster. The range of options available for managing and viewing information is extensive, and the interface is very straightforward to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
One aspect I dislike about Openshift is that it does not offer straightforward support for ingress. Instead, it uses what it calls "routers," which are essentially just HA Proxy processes. I am not sure about SSO integration of Openshift, but it should be available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my opinion, OpenShift has greatly streamlined the container orchestration process for Kubernetes. Few products offer the same combination of detail and user-friendly experience that OpenShift provides.
