“OpenShift Offers Rich Features but Differs Significantly From Base Kubernetes”

OpenShift is a platform that is very far from base Kubernetes, which makes it much more difficult to use. However, it is still feature-rich and gets good support from RedHat.

Red Hat OpenShift Likes & Dislikes

Like

When we were looking for a container platform, we wanted an enterprise class solution that had the knowledge backing it and the testing for stability, OpenShift provided that.

Like

Integration in RedHat ecosystem

Like

Built-in security scanning, role-based access controls, and automated security policies provide good protection without requiring additional security tools. The integrated developer expereince using the openshift console and CLI makes it easy for developers even if they don't have much kubernetes knowledge.

Dislike

A good product but cost is high.

Dislike

How far deviated from standard Kubernetes it is.

Dislike

Integration with external services and some third party tools is a bit difficult requiring custom configuration. The complexity of security models and networking configurations can make debugging a bit challenging when it is between different services.

    Kubernetes Management Simplified by Effective GUI and Command Line Integration

    Jun 20, 2025
    I find it extremely powerful. It makes managing kubernetes somewhat easier. The training around it could be a little better (I could replicate exactly what the instructor did, but when trying to explore further on my own, things wouldn't work and it wasn't initially clear why).
