OpenShift - deploying applications made easy
What do you like best about the product?
OpenShift is the PaaS platform provided by Red Hat, also in the open source version OKD, which is the one I use. It is very well designed and can be easily integrated with different applications of the cloud native ecosystems. It is based on kubernetes and docker (even though new container engines specifically tailored to kubernetes are being deployed), which are leader container orchestration and engine systems, respectively. It allows to easily manage containerized applications, thus one can easily deal with non functional requirements such as scalability, reliability and so on.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like almost all of OpenShift, however I feel some of its features could be improved. For example, every resource is described through a YAML file, but the built-in editor could better support syntax checking and autocompletion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At my company we've been using OpenShift mainly for research purposes and to deploy complex applications made of several different software components. Based on such experience, I believe it is a very powerful platform as it allows you to easily build and deploy applications. It is also useful to deal with DevOps problems as it allows to create pipeline and to integrate with continous deployment software such as Jenkins. Overall, OpenShift can be your best choice if your company needs to work microservices architectures or in general if you wanna concentrate on your application code rather than on the infrastracture, which OpenShift takes care of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
OpenShift can be very intuitive if one has some basic concepts, so before starting to delve into it, I suggest reviewing the microservices architecture and also the YAML syntax.
Openshift PaaS as enterprise solution
What do you like best about the product?
i like the ease of use, flexibility, security and gui features like reviewing logs and accessing shell from console
What do you dislike about the product?
complexity of setup and low level maintainence
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
orchestrating containers in prod
Container Management with Kubernets, Docker
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of uploading is definitely a huge plus. By creating an Openshift cluster on one VM you can locally create images and immediately have them accessible and scalable in a matching web-based UI
Strong by-default security and permission model
Strong by-default security and permission model
What do you dislike about the product?
Necessity of a Red Hat Customer Portal account for installation
Reconfiguration (e.g. after changing the hostname of a node) seemed to be overly complicated
Some better automated logging on the web interface would go a long way to improving the software as a whole.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Implementing secure containerization of micro-services for hundreds of thousands of VMs. These services must be scalable in order to meet user need fluctuation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that anyone planning to use Openshift acquaint themselves with the Docker and Kubernetes documentation and be sure that they have experience creating Docker images of course. I think it is a great secure combination of these two open-source softwares from Red-Hat.
Open Source is my Go-To
What do you like best about the product?
Very well developed software. Because of the open source community, you have a very solid product that is highly secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fast change of pace for features. It can be difficult to keep upgraded to the latest version and test for any issues for each release.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scalability with historically monolithic databases and breaking it down into microservices.
Openshift is great
What do you like best about the product?
Good way to host Java applications in the cloud. I used Openshift to host my JSF application with a little API and it was able to do these things very well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. It seems hard to learn but it doesn't.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud applications
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tools. It supports a lot of languages and it can solve many problems of cloud host.

Deploying message-bus using openshift pods. The biggest benefit was easy scalability
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get really familiar with the workflows to understand the concepts
Simple and Powerfull
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to spin up a new instance preloaded with the applications I want. The interface is simple enough for a beginner to get started, without having to read documentation on how to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not exactly dislike. But the thing I least like are the restrictions on MySQL database cartridge which shuts down after 8 hours of inactivity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can quickly turn on a instance and install my app to test and to show to other users. I also use to showcase demos of my personal projects. Also I have used this service to host college's event websites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely try this even if you are currently using anything else.
Easy to setup your project. Really helpful for students, It also allows for using custom domains.
