Know about OpenShift tech and its industry use cases…
What is OpenShift?
Red Hat OpenShift is the leading enterprise Kubernetes platform*, built for an open hybrid cloud strategy. Red Hat OpenShift’s full-stack automated operations, consistent experience across all environments and self-service provisioning for developers lets teams work together to more efficiently move ideas from development to production.
Red Hat OpenShift is available as a fully managed cloud service on leading public clouds, or as a self-managed software offering for organizations requiring more customization.
OpenShift delivers a complete application platform for both traditional and cloud-native apps allowing them to run anywhere. Built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and compatible with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Red Hat OpenShift enables automation inside and outside your Kubernetes clusters.
Features of OpenShift:
A cloud experience, everywhere
Red Hat OpenShift includes an enterprise-grade Linux operating system, container runtime, networking, monitoring, registry, and authentication and authorization solutions. Automate life-cycle management to get increased security, tailored operations solutions, easy-to-manage cluster operations, and application portability.
Enterprise Kubernetes
You have a lot of choices in Kubernetes solutions. Red Hat OpenShift stands out as a leader with a security-focused, supported Kubernetes platform — including a Red Hat Enterprise Linux foundation. We also offer expert training and consulting for customers that need further support.
On-demand application stacks
Develop your apps with the languages and tools you want and deploy through container images. Use pre-created quickstart application templates to build your app languages, frameworks, and databases with 1 click.
Industry Use Cases of Openshift:
Following are the companies who got benefited from using openshift:
- Employers: Employers created a central app environment and automated policy processes, resulting in a 40% increase in 3-year sales and a better customer experience.
- Deutsche Bank: Deutsche Bank built a containerized, microservices-based application development platform that shortened development cycles and improved efficiency.
- Argentina’s Ministry of Health: Argentina’s Ministry of Health built a national digital health network that has united data sources to protect patient information and improve the patient experience.
- Ford: Ford Motor Company seeks to provide mobility solutions at accessible prices to its customers, including dealerships and parts distributors who sell to a variety of retail and commercial consumers. To speed delivery and simplify maintenance, the company sought to create a container-based application platform to modernize its legacy stateful applications and optimize its hardware use. With this platform, based on Red Hat OpenShift and supported by Red Hat and Sysdig technology, Ford has improved developer productivity, enhanced its security and compliance approach, and optimized its hardware use to improve operating costs.
Advantages Of OpenShift:
- Innovate and go to market faster: OpenShift enables your development team to focus on what they do best. Now, developers are free from spending excessive time managing and deploying containers. This helps them to speed up the development process and get the product faster in the market.
- Accelerate application development: Deploying and managing containers at a scale is a complicated process. It cut down the time of managing the container. This improves the companies productivity and speeds up application development.
- Enterprise-grade, container-based platform with no vendor lock: Consider the case of a company with worldwide manufacturing facilities that implement a container platform tool. If the company shifts its production approach to a process that requires it to change to a new operating system one that isn’t supported by its containerization platform the company will face the expensive task of redoing its containerization orchestration on another platform. With a vendor-agnostic open-source platform, users can migrate their container processes to the new operating system quickly while avoiding the extensive costs often involved in migrating from a proprietary operating framework.
- Self-service provisioning: This self-service provisioning helps improve developer productivity by allowing your development team to work with the tools they are most comfortable using — speeding up the development process by enabling faster creation and deployment of applications. At the same time, OpenShift allows your operations staff to retain control over the environment as a whole.
