Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In Kubernetes, when traffic goes out of a pod, it has to have its own IP address. Every service that's going out requires another IP. But with OpenShift, you don't have to deal with any of those IPs because they use NAT.""The solution's support and its automation tool that ensures we are secure and appropriately configured are the most valuable features of Azure Red Hat OpenShift.""It has a feature to automatically scale up or scale down. If my application is running in peak hours, it will automatically increase.""It supports AKS and other projects like Kubernetes or EKS.""I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.""The most valuable features of the solution are accessibility and scalability."

When something is not working, we should get an alert.""Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure.""They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more.""Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it.""Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
