Openshift: Best tool and software to manage the containers.

Pros:
It's very easy to manage the container applications and issues related to them like container image scanning and the securities related to them before the production deployment.
Cons:
Not much resource is available in the market who are expert in the container application security in market.

Perfect Container Orchestrator
Comments: It solved our use case of transitioning from monolith to microservices.
Pros:
If you have microservices use case and have following questions like How to scale my services? How to monitor my services? How manage deployment? How to make services resilient to failures? Answer to all the above questions is Openshift. As it eases the pain of development and there is solution available to a known services deployment issue already. Integration of our existing services was smoothly done.
Cons:
We didn't face any major issue while implementing or changing our deployment strategy for microservices. However as a developer I think there are many parts that one needs to understand to get going. But I don't think that as an issue. All tools have some learning curve and Openshift is no different.

Openshift - had to leave for Linode due to the forced and abrupt move from Openshift v2 to v3
Comments: It was an excellent product, Red Hat's management and treatment of users is the problem.
Pros:
Openshift v2 was an excellent product that I couldn't fault at all, in fact I really really liked it. The problem came when Red Hat wanted everyone to move from v2 to v3 and gave very short notice and a very short timeline. Version 3 was completely different, based on containers.
Cons:
As stated above, the real problem with Openshift is the way Red Hat forced everyone to move from v2 to v3 in a ridiculously short time. Documentation for migration was useless, I tried to migrate using it - it all failed. I could not trust Red Hat again after that experience, so I moved to Linode and have never looked back.

Starting a new era in software architecture
Pros:
Easy to use, full of useful feature. It make easy and valuable migration to innovative achitecture based on containerized approach. You can use a community edition (Openshift Origin) or chose the RED HAT edition. Based on Kubernetes. Fully integrated with many other useful tool for monitoring and manager the full software cycle, until the deploy.
Cons:
Documentation is still poor. Not so fast in receive support from community. Security aspect need to be better debeate.

Best Environment for deploying applications
Comments: Easy to deploy and manage the applications in Redhat Openshift container
Pros:
I am using Redhat Openshift container since 1 1/2 years and i really loved since deploying and monitoring the application is very easy when compare to deploying the application in traditional app servers like Tomcat
Cons:
Pricing for enterprise is bit costly when compare with Amazon web services (AWS).Also engaging Redhat support team to troubleshoot the issue is very difficult
