Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

I move applications and teams to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform: installation, security, operators and migration from virtual machines or from Kubernetes.

Let's talk

Who it is for

Companies using or evaluating OpenShift that want to shorten adoption time and avoid configuration mistakes.

Where

Pavia and Lombardy on site by appointment, across Italy and Europe remotely.

How it starts

A call, then a written proposal with scope, timing and cost.

Problems I solve

• Lifecycle: each OpenShift version has about six months of full support and up to 18 months of maintenance, so upgrades must be planned.
• Differences from Kubernetes: SCCs, routes, operators and networking require adapting applications.
• Applications on virtual machines: you need to decide what to containerise and what to move with OpenShift Virtualization.

What you get

• Architecture and installation or upgrade plan
• Security baseline: SCCs, RBAC, network policies, images
• Pipelines and GitOps to release onto the cluster

In practice

I move applications to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and make them run well: cluster architecture, installation and upgrades, security (SCC, RBAC, network policies), operators, pipelines and GitOps, observability. Also useful for teams coming from plain Kubernetes who must adapt to OpenShift, or from virtual machines who want to containerise.

• Cluster architecture, installation and upgrades
• Security and compliance: SCC, RBAC, images, secrets
• Operators, OpenShift Pipelines and GitOps
• Migrating applications from VMs or from Kubernetes

Technologies

• OpenShift 4.20-4.22
• Operators
• OpenShift Pipelines
• OpenShift GitOps
• OpenShift Virtualization
• CRI-O
• Quay

How I work

1. Listening A call to understand the context, the problem and the constraints. No commitment.
2. Proposal Scope, timing and cost written clearly, before anything starts.
3. Delivery Small shippable steps, regular updates and code in your own repository.
4. Handover Documentation and training: the work ends when your team can run it alone.
