Product video
Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) is a fully-managed and jointly supported Red Hat OpenShift offering that combines the power of Red Hat OpenShift, the industry's most comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes platform, and the AWS public cloud.
Installation, monitoring, management, maintenance, and upgrades are performed by Red Hat site reliability engineers (SRE) covering the complete stack including the control plane, worker nodes and key services. You can also deploy clusters across multiple Availability Zones in supported regions to maximize availability. With all this covered, your ops team would only need to step in when managing user access for your developers who can take advantage of the 150+ AWS cloud-native compute, database, analytics, machine learning, networking, mobile, and other services.
The cluster can be scaled as your business' needs dictate. Choose from memory-optimized, compute-optimized, or general purpose EC2 instance types, with clusters sized to meet your needs. The service can be paid as you go with flexible hourly on-demand billing. You will receive a single bill from AWS for both Red Hat OpenShift & AWS consumption. An annual billing model is available as well; check out the pricing information below to find out what you can save with annual contracts.

Has supported container-based service hosting while slower support impacts resolution time
What is our primary use case?
Red Hat OpenShift is used to host all services running on containers on specific ports for both production and non-production environments.
Red Hat OpenShift is utilized in the healthcare sector.
What is most valuable?
Red Hat OpenShift provides good value as a cloud service, comparable to other public clouds such as AWS and Azure , but it functions as a private cloud rather than a public one.
A smaller cloud running on containers enables easy deployment with the ability to scale up and scale down, and it can host multiple services on the same platform.
What needs improvement?
Red Hat OpenShift is currently running with VMware, and there are some issues on the storage side that are still being addressed.
The support from Red Hat is rated around a six or seven in those kinds of cases.
Support could improve with faster response times, as responses are currently quite slow.
For how long have I used the solution?
The team has been working with Red Hat OpenShift for over five years.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup for Red Hat OpenShift is easy to deploy.
What about the implementation team?
There are approximately two resources working on the Red Hat OpenShift cluster for deployment.
The DevOps engineer and the Red Hat OpenShift Linux engineer are the job roles required for deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is no free open-source version available; a license must be purchased for Red Hat OpenShift.
The pricing for Red Hat OpenShift is considered quite high.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Red Hat OpenShift cannot be compared with other options for PaaS clouds because other private services have never been used.
There is no current knowledge of other available options.
What other advice do I have?
I am not familiar with the mobile app platform for Android.

My focus is on the management side rather than the technical side.
