endorse · production · hackrmn · 2026-07-02 · source ↗ · wrong label?“With OpenShift it gets even better... Early tests were very good though.”
endorse · production · freedomben · 2023-12-06 · source ↗ · wrong label?“OpenShift is Kubernetes with great default security policies. Storage, networking, logging, and more are all configured out of the box.”
endorse · production · mmh0000 · 2023-02-17 · source ↗ · wrong label?“And I have had similar issues with OpenShift.”
regret · production · jeltz · 2022-11-02 · source ↗ · wrong label?“It always seemed like added complexity to me in exchange for free hosting. I liked the idea in concept more than in practice.”
regret · personal · dmix · 2020-11-20 · source ↗ · wrong label?“After installation, maintenance has taken barely any time.”
endorse · production · 0.5 yr · acoard · 2020-11-18 · source ↗ · wrong label?“OpenShift is really broken with a proxy though and requires manual intervention to fix after the install, and even then not everything works.”
regret · production · readams · 2018-05-18 · source ↗ · wrong label?“OO comes with a bunch of really nice quality of life improvements that are missing in k8s”
endorse · personal · swozey · 2018-03-28 · source ↗ · wrong label?“I've used OpenShift and it is certainly more active, but I also have the very strong feeling that Deis is "done"”
mixed · personal · yebyen · 2017-12-11 · source ↗ · wrong label?“We've been running OpenShift Origin since March of last year, it's been very stable during that time”
endorse · production · 1 yr · bitwalker · 2017-02-23 · source ↗ · wrong label?“after a month in production my team is loving OpenShift and we've already deployed three greenfield apps on it.”
endorse · production · snuxoll · 2016-12-23 · source ↗ · wrong label?“I've been using OpenShift's free hosting tier to host a Ghost blog, and it goes down CONSTANTLY, making it unusable.”
regret · personal · joshburgess · 2015-07-08 · source ↗ · wrong label?“Assuming I get it to production, I'm going to stick with OpenShift.”
endorse · personal · sghill · 2013-12-11 · source ↗ · wrong label?“We get OpenShift, OpenStack, and more running in prod in both air-gapped, and ssl-proxied environments”
