Openshift: Best tool and software to manage the containers.
We are very happy with the Openshift and features that they offer to the container application deployment and security.
PROSIt'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.
CONSNot much resource is available in the market who are expert in the container application security in market.
Reason for choosing OpenShift
Openshift is very powerful and effective product from Red Hat. Red Hat created the c groups and namespace, they are expert in the containerised application software and they offered an incredible support when it comes to OpenShift and container security.
Reasons for switching to OpenShift
Apache Mesos was not very powerful in managing the up-growing of number of containers in the organisation.

Perfect Container Orchestrator
It solved our use case of transitioning from monolith to microservices.
PROSIf 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.
CONSWe 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.
Reason for choosing OpenShift
It is backed by Redhat. We already have Redhat Products everywhere in our organization so it was a natural choice. Not just that even comparing with similar tools it provides more and same features.
Reasons for switching to OpenShift
It takes quite a bit of effort to setup spring cloud and we wanted to come out of that zone. Openshift by default provides all the features and more we were using with Spring cloud.

Openshift - had to leave for Linode due to the forced and abrupt move from Openshift v2 to v3
It was an excellent product, Red Hat's management and treatment of users is the problem.
PROSOpenshift 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.
CONSAs 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.

Starting a new era in software architecture
Easy to use, full of useful feature. It make easy and valuable migration to innovative achitecture based on containerized approach. You can use a community edition (Openshift Origin) or chose the RED HAT edition. Based on Kubernetes. Fully integrated with many other useful tool for monitoring and manager the full software cycle, until the deploy.
CONSDocumentation is still poor. Not so fast in receive support from community. Security aspect need to be better debeate.

Best Environment for deploying applications
Easy to deploy and manage the applications in Redhat Openshift container
PROSI am using Redhat Openshift container since 1 1/2 years and i really loved since deploying and monitoring the application is very easy when compare to deploying the application in traditional app servers like Tomcat
CONSPricing for enterprise is bit costly when compare with Amazon web services (AWS).Also engaging Redhat support team to troubleshoot the issue is very difficult

OpenShift Is A Good PaaS Platform
One of the best PaaS platforms that I've used. I've sent an Java application there and I had a best experience. It works with Java, Ruby and more. Eclipse extension works very well with OpenShift. But the free plan have some limitations. And the OpenShift is very good if you're learning about Java containers and how it works.
CONSFree plan is not too good and it has some limitations.

Great business solution for cloud deployments
Happy to use such an abstractive layer on top of Kubernetes and use cloud deployment strategies with less hassle.
PROSIt is great to have Kubernetes functionality with a professional support and frequent updates. Multitenancy at best.
CONSIt sometimes can be very difficult to debug and manage. Deployment changes can be tricky that you spent hours to resolve.

OpenShift - Best platform for developers
I have been using OpenShift for more than 2 years now. I have seen lot of improvements in Openshift and it's getting better and better. The most important thing is that it provides a lifetime free account which can be used as a hands on over OpenShift. Most important, you can attach your own domain to your application, even on free account. Openshift works using gears and cartridges. It has now lots of cartridges available and you can also create new custom cartridge.
PROS1. Free lifetime account with 3 small gears. 2. You can add multiple cartridges in a single gear. 3. attach your own domain to your application, even on free account. 4. Support deploy on git push
CONS1. You can sudo login to your gear, but you can always contact customer care they will handle such situation.

Ready to use PaaS service!
Really like the easy to deploy and use the PaaS services on IBM Cloud. The self-management make it easier for developers. I really like the good integration with IBM Cloud Paks.
CONSA problem is that you can shut down the services, so you are not charge. If you have a disaster recovery scenario with Openshift on IBM Cloud, you can't stop the compute charging.

openshift through the eyes of a machine learning engineer
In general, I have not used kubernetes through the user interface and it can be said that it provides a lot of ease of use. But the bugs that I had experienced from time to time were quite annoying and it was quite bad that there was no solution.
PROSI've used gcp, eks and aks before. When I compared them by looking at them, it was very useful that I could load and edit yamls on a user interface of its own.
CONSSince it uses old versions of kubernetes, you may encounter interesting bugs.

Application Development is fairly easy although you will need to read documentation
It's fairly easy to use when it's well set up by the administrators. Documentation is very complete. Creation and management of volumes and persistent volumes. Pod log is fairly useful for debugging.
CONSSecrets management need more user-friendly editing. Large amount of pipelines in the same project makes it hardly manageable. Pod log randomly skips entries.

Boost my development speed

OpenShif opened Kubernetes to the masses
Openshift made it possible for us to setup a complete docker orchestration solution in an effortless way, including an amazing CI/CD pipeline which basically automates everything.
PROS* Very simple to setup and configure * Friendly user interface * Great dashboards * Broad set of integrations * Large collection of guides and tutorials
CONS* Monitoring could be improved * Troubleshooting can be tricky, as it's not always easy to find out exactly what's going wrong
Reason for choosing OpenShift
OpenShift is a lot easier to setup, adapt, operate and monitor than plain Kubernetes.
