What does "They are selling it in a big way" mean? I've never heard of it, and neither have any of the software engineers who are next to me at the office. RedH

RedHat OpenShift also bombed. They had a great start 11 years ago, but then didn't innovate, and worse, released a 2.0 that wasn't backward compatible. They used the 2.0 release as an excuse to kick off all free plans. What a joke. There's a reason Red Hat isn't a leader in Cloud.

- parasubvert 4y agoThey also released a 3.0 and 4.0 of OpenShift that weren't backwards compatible :-) Yet OpenShift is making bank. You'd be surprised how much money they make on AWS, Azure, and Google.
- emptysongglass 4y agoOpenShift is fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any medium sized startup and up. I run it in my closet. Most medium sized startups end up building out an OpenShift-like K8s but they use 6 months to a year plus to do it. Upgrades within major versions are totally painless, one-click affairs.
- RajT88 4y agoI have customers running Tanzu. It is slick, but niche. Incredibly rock solid - in ways K8S is not - and you pay for it. It is on its way out as a product.
- nunez 4y agoTanzu is a loaded term :) Are you talking about TAS (ex PCF) or TKG?
- bogomipz 4y agoWhy is it on its way out as a product? Is it simply not making money?
- RajT88 4y agoThe scuttlebutt I hear is Kubernetes is stealing its lunch money. Again, referring to what used to be PCF. Hence why the more modern Tanzu is K8s based.
- parasubvert 4y agoPCF is still making bank but the industry has rallied around K8s. So growth has stalled but it has a happy customer base. Unfortunately there’s no real equivalent (OpenShift is not really “it”) on K8s unless you’re assembling several products together with a lot of glue. Which is what everyone does, with varying quality.
