We performed a comparison between Kubernetes and OpenShift Container Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Kubernetes' integration with AWS Lambda is great. I barely had to write any code to connect from EKS to Lambda, so Kubernetes is programmer friendly."
"The self-serving feature allows our developers to grab a container and complete testing."
"The scanning and support network."
"Scalability is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero Touch Operations, which involves a new way of performing operations and support. We do not have to do maintenance, the operations are very simple."
"We find the smooth, instant fail-safes in this solution to be very useful, as this allows for easy revival of dying quads or failing applications."
"Provision of a managed platform as a service."
"I like Kubernetes' scalability, built-in redundancy, and ease of deployment."
"The operating system has a live update and is more secure than any other. It's made for Atomic OS, a lightweight OS new to the market. I also like the source-to-image capabilities. The customer can directly deploy their applications from the repository. It's a highly flexible and easy way to deploy into production."
"I have found the ability to scale up is most valuable."
"Some of the primary features we leverage in the platform have to do with how we manage the cluster configurations, the properties, and the auto-scalability. These are the features that definitely provide value in terms of reducing overhead for the developers."
"The stack in the software supply chain is one of the main reasons that we use OpenShift. When I came to this company, we bought hardware from IBM named Bluemix, and they used ICP, which stands for IBM Cloud Private."
"The usability and the developer experience. The platform has a centralized consultant that is easy to use for our development, operations and security teams."
"More tools are available in OpenShift Container Platform to maintain and manage the clusters."
"The best feature is the management for the port life cycle, which automatically recycles, pulls, and scales up and down based on needs and requests."
"It is very lightweight and can be deployed very fast, especially when it comes to containers."
"Overall, it's very powerful, but there are also a lot of complexities to manage."
"Currently has a very minimal UI for certain things."
"They should update Kubernetes more regularly."
"Having a thread dump and memory dump, and seeing how many objects were created would be useful."
"Community-based Kubernetes is quite hard to set up."
"The dashboard, monitoring, and login need improvements."
"They need to focus on more security internally."
"I'm a beginner, and I recently started working with Kubernetes. As of now, I don't see any bugs. However, it would be better if it could be deployed without coding."
"The solution needs to introduce open ID connect integration for role-based access control."
"Whenever we onboard or deploy services that talk to Oracle Database, they take a lot of time to become active and serve the incoming request, so it would be good to see some improvement here. This could be an OpenShift issue or an internal network problem within our organization."
"We've encountered challenges when transitioning applications between these environments."
"OpenShift has certain restrictions in terms of managing the cluster when it's running on a public cloud. For example, identity and access management integration with the IM of AWS is quite difficult. It requires some open-source tools to integrate. This is one area where I always see room for improvement."
"OpenShift Container Platform needs to work on integrations."
"I want to see more incorporation of native automation features; then, we could write a code, deploy it directly to OpenShift, and allow it to take care of the automated process. Using this method, we could write one application and have elements copy/pasted to other applications in the development process."
"Another thing that bugs me is that they removed the software in NFS storage. I don't understand why because this is a common type of storage. I am having problems with that, so I wish they would put it back."
"We encounter difficulties while accessing the environment and managing the cluster. This particular area needs improvement."
