Red Hat OpenShift
OpenShift is Kubernetes with Red Hat's opinions and support: integrated registry, build pipelines, OperatorHub, an enterprise console and RHEL CoreOS nodes. It is common in regulated industries and anywhere a Red Hat relationship already exists.
We install and operate OpenShift clusters, integrate them with corporate identity and storage, and help teams decide between OCP, OKD and a plain upstream cluster.

How we work
Every cluster we build starts from Git. Infrastructure as code creates the cluster, Flux or Argo CD reconciles everything inside it, and no change reaches production without a pull request. That is what makes a rebuild after a bad day a matter of hours instead of weeks.
Operations are the product: monitoring with alerts that mean something, backups of cluster state and persistent volumes, upgrades on a quarterly cadence and an on-call engineer who already knows the environment. We run production Kubernetes for our own platforms, so the runbooks are ones we use ourselves.
We are honest about fit. A handful of stable services on a couple of VMs does not need Kubernetes, and we will say so. Teams that ship weekly, need to scale or run many services get real value from it.

Frequently asked questions
Is OpenShift worth the licence?
When you need vendor support, compliance evidence or the integrated developer platform, yes. For a small team running a few services, upstream Kubernetes with good tooling costs less.
