My grief with Red Hat is that they are taking all open-source products and rebranding them as if they are their products. I get questions from our customers. They ask questions such as why are you using OpenShift? Why go for vendor lock-in? I have to explain that there is no real vendor lock-in. They should tone down the aggressive branding a bit. At times, we also have some problems with getting the proper attention for specific bugs. Red Hat should work on that. We are not big customers of Red Hat, but sometimes, we have severe bugs. We are very innovative, and sometimes, we have to wait for a long time to get proper attention. Red Hat should improve on that. Red Hat sometimes shifts its focus. We are moving our entire platform from OpenStack to bare metal, so we were running OpenShift on bare metal. They should improve their installers, and they should not change these installers all the time. They can maybe have two instead of four. They have shifted their attention to public clouds, so we now have to wait for our RVs, which is sometimes annoying. We are not using the Red Hat GitOps operator. We are using the ArgoCD operator because the GitOps operator provided by Red Hat is too old. Our customers are asking for a certain functionality, and the Red Hat operator is lagging behind. It is the same with their Single Sign-On. We are not using Red Hat Single Sign-On because the versions are too old. They should speed it up a bit.
