→ What is OpenShift ?

Red Hat OpenShift is the hybrid cloud platform of open possibility: powerful, so you can build anything and flexible, so it works anywhere. OpenShift is a family of containerization software products developed by Red Hat. Its flagship product is the OpenShift Container Platform — an on-premises platform as a service built around Docker containers orchestrated and managed by Kubernetes on a foundation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

The greatest benefit that OpenShift has provided Intermountain is an avenue away from our legacy systems. It’s open the door to allow us to move away to a more efficient and streamlined technologies.

→ Why Openshift ?

OpenShift enables efficient container orchestration, allowing rapid container provisioning, deploying, scaling, and management. … By streamlining and automating the container automation process, OpenShift enables cybersecurity developers to focus on accelerating application development, updates, and product distribution.

Let’s look at the benefits of Openshift container platform.

  1. Innovate and go to market faster

2. Accelerate application development

3. Enterprise-grade, container-based platform with no vendor lock-in

4. Enable DevOps and department-wide collaboration

5. Self-service provisioning.

→ How FORD Use Openshift ?

Ford Motor Company seeks to provide mobility solutions at accessible prices to its customers, including dealerships and parts distributors who sell to a variety of retail and commercial consumers. To speed delivery and simplify maintenance, the company sought to create a container-based application platform to modernize its legacy stateful applications and optimize its hardware use. With this platform, based on Red Hat OpenShift and supported by Red Hat and Sysdig technology, Ford has improved developer productivity, enhanced its security and compliance approach, and optimized its hardware use to improve operating costs. Now, the company can focus on exploring new ways to innovate, from big data to machine learning and artificial intelligence.
