OpenShift

Openshift: Best tool and software to manage the containers.

Kommentare: We are very happy with the Openshift and features that they offer to the container application deployment and security.

Vorteile:

It's very easy to manage the container applications and issues related to them like container image scanning and the securities related to them before the production deployment.

Nachteile:

Not much resource is available in the market who are expert in the container application security in market.

Container Orchestration Made Easy

Vorteile:

- Openshift UI to easily deploy, scale and destroy pods. - Has Kubernetes features - Support for public and private cloud deployments

Nachteile:

Sometimes deployments/pods get stuck and are not deleted even after multiple retries.

Openshift - had to leave for Linode due to the forced and abrupt move from Openshift v2 to v3

Kommentare: It was an excellent product, Red Hat's management and treatment of users is the problem.

Vorteile:

Openshift v2 was an excellent product that I couldn't fault at all, in fact I really really liked it. The problem came when Red Hat wanted everyone to move from v2 to v3 and gave very short notice and a very short timeline. Version 3 was completely different, based on containers.

Nachteile:

As stated above, the real problem with Openshift is the way Red Hat forced everyone to move from v2 to v3 in a ridiculously short time. Documentation for migration was useless, I tried to migrate using it - it all failed. I could not trust Red Hat again after that experience, so I moved to Linode and have never looked back.

good tool for deploy your application.

Kommentare: it's a great tool for deploying your application and creating many resources like LB, config map, secrets etc. You can easily learn full Kubernetes by working with this tool.

Vorteile:

you don't need to work in CLI, it has a great GUI and it provides high security for your resources.

Nachteile:

It's too expensive for the normal company or person you want learn.

Perfect Container Orchestrator

Kommentare: It solved our use case of transitioning from monolith to microservices.

Vorteile:

If you have microservices use case and have following questions like How to scale my services? How to monitor my services? How manage deployment? How to make services resilient to failures? Answer to all the above questions is Openshift. As it eases the pain of development and there is solution available to a known services deployment issue already. Integration of our existing services was smoothly done.

Nachteile:

We didn't face any major issue while implementing or changing our deployment strategy for microservices. However as a developer I think there are many parts that one needs to understand to get going. But I don't think that as an issue. All tools have some learning curve and Openshift is no different.
