"It has a feature to automatically scale up or scale down. If my application is running in peak hours, it will automatically increase.""I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.""The most valuable features of the solution are accessibility and scalability.""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.""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.""It supports AKS and other projects like Kubernetes or EKS."

Additionally, it would be beneficial if there were more use case examples.""Pivotal Cloud Foundry could improve on the technology it is a bit complex.""Regarding the setup phase, every step is a hurdle.
