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.

Enterprise-Ready Kubernetes Made Easy with Built-In CI/CD, Security, and Observability
Reviewed on Jul 11, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Red Hat OpenShift is that it makes Kubernetes much easier to use in real projects. The built-in developer tools, automated CI/CD pipelines, and strong security features save me a lot of time. I don’t have to worry as much about setting up complex integrations, because OpenShift already includes monitoring, logging, and role-based access out of the box.
For me, the biggest advantage is how it simplifies container management while still being enterprise-grade and scalable. Overall, it feels like Kubernetes with all the practical pieces already assembled and ready to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Red Hat OpenShift is that it can sometimes feel heavy and overly complex. The initial setup and ongoing configuration take more effort than plain Kubernetes, and the learning curve is steep, especially if you’re new to the platform. It also tends to require more resources to run smoothly, which can become costly in smaller environments.
So even though it’s powerful, the added complexity and higher resource requirements are the main downsides for me.
So even though it’s powerful, the added complexity and higher resource requirements are the main downsides for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat OpenShift solves a few major problems for me. First, it removes much of the complexity of managing raw Kubernetes by providing a ready-made platform with built-in tools, which saves time and helps reduce mistakes. Second, it supports security and compliance because RBAC, monitoring, and policies are already integrated into the platform. Third, it speeds up application deployment through CI/CD pipelines and automation, so developers don’t have to waste effort on manual setup work.
The benefit is straightforward: I spend less time dealing with infrastructure headaches and more time focusing on real application development and scaling. Overall, it gives me stability, speed, and governance in one place.

Dev-Topology View, Seamless Integrations, and Best-in-Class Security for Governance
Reviewed on Jul 11, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
the most used feature by me is the dev-topology view, it show all the entities, be it anything, pvc, namespaces, etc at a glance and shows the disconnected/errors at a glance so no need to run multiple kubectl commands. Its integration with other external and inhouse tools is seamless.
performace wise its on par with its competitors but the support and securiity is what makes it the best tools for governance activities.

What do you dislike about the product?
As its security centric solution, any native image to run it as root can be problematic. The whole footprint of such a system is heavy as compared to other providers, making it a resource hungry alternative. This in turn results in higher operating costs and Pricing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The UI/UX that Openshift provides helps to view most of the basic thing at a UI level instead of using all the Kubectl commands to check each and every service. with a user friendly interface the integration of AI becomes easier.

OpenShift Delivers Enterprise-Grade Kubernetes Without the Chaos
Reviewed on Apr 23, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
OpenShift stands out because it delivers Kubernetes without the chaos. It smooths over many of the sharp edges of upstream K8s and packages them into opinionated, enterprise-grade automation that’s built to hold up in real production use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s Kubernetes… plus a lot of Red Hat opinions. OpenShift’s guardrails are great... until they aren’t.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides a complete, supported, enterprise platform with predictable lifecycle, support SLAs, and integrated tooling.

Solid Security, Steep Learning Curve
Reviewed on Jan 14, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate Red Hat OpenShift for its strong security features. It delivers security by default through restricted security policies and non-root containers, which reduce risk without requiring extra setup. The RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) model is clear and practical, making it easy to control who can deploy, manage, or access resources and clearly separate admin, DevOps, and developer responsibilities. We use OpenShift on a daily basis for running and managing production workloads, and features like automated scaling, rolling updates, health checks, and image scanning help us meet enterprise security and compliance needs. While the initial setup requires Kubernetes knowledge, the guided installation, good documentation, and Red Hat support make implementation manageable. Integration with existing tools like CI/CD, monitoring, and identity providers is straightforward, and Red Hat’s customer support is responsive and reliable when issues arise. Overall, it feels like a secure, well-governed platform that still keeps things simple for our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
One drawback of Red Hat OpenShift is that it can feel heavy and complex compared to plain Kubernetes, especially for smaller teams or simple workloads. The learning curve is steeper due to OpenShift-specific concepts like Routes and Operators. Also, upgrades require careful planning. The initial setup of Red Hat OpenShift was moderately complex, and while the installation process is well-documented, it still requires solid Kubernetes and infrastructure knowledge. For experienced teams, it's manageable, but for a smaller team, it feels heavy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat OpenShift solves day-to-day problems by reducing operational complexity in Kubernetes, meeting enterprise security, and compliance requirements with features like RBAC and image scanning. It ensures consistent experiences, offers automated scaling and health checks, and provides a secure platform with strong default security.
