Containers provide a standardized and portable way to develop, deploy and run applications. They allow applications to be easily accessed and shared across different computing environments from development to production. Containers are lightweight compared to virtual machines and allow applications and their dependencies to be packaged together for true portability. A container platform combined with DevOps practices allows for continuous integration and deployment, automated operations and security, and a consistent hybrid cloud experience.

capabilities of a modern application platform...

8. Business decides when new functionality goes live and to whom

9. Fast access to new functionality
Short and closed feedback-loop

10. Containers are immutable
The same should be true for the platform
No more surprises!

11. ● Application processes on a shared kernel
● Simpler, lighter, and denser than VMs
● Portable across different environments
● Package apps with all dependencies
● Deploy to any environment in seconds
● Easily accessed and shared

We got the idea to have
all these tests we do with
hardware on virtual test
environments, and that’s
why we’ve come to
OpenShift and containers.

21. Confidence in a flawless running service
The platform takes care of the health

22. We want “Automatic operations”!
Automated lifecycle management of services

Using the Prometheus Operator,
our dev teams are able to provision their

We could not hope to manage the 344
Prometheus instances without the domain
knowledge the Operator encapsulates.

39. Why OpenShift for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments?
IDC Research: The Business Value of OpenShift on AWS
Source: IDC Report “The Business Value of an Agile and Flexible Platform for Developing and Running Applications with OpenShift on AWS”, May 2019
Our developers say that
OpenShift on AWS is very
easy to use, and they are
definitely more productive
as a result ... seeing 60-70
percent increases in
productivity levels.
Financial Services
“” We have a multi-cloud
environment and OpenShift
on AWS has features that
make it easier to be agile.
Pharmaceutical
“” OpenShift on AWS has really
helped us improve our
reservation system and
contributed to up to 15
percent more revenue,
worth tens of millions of
dollars per year.
