Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform's policy-based governance has helped my organization maintain application security at scale because ACS is also there, and Red Hat is always maintaining things with hardening methods, always coming with hardened images, and we are frequently upgrading the minor and major versions, so it will be mitigated in that way.

Unified cloud workloads have become visible and teams manage kubernetes issues efficiently
This is the main task that we use Komodor for, and one additional benefit is that it is also helpful for platform and site reliability engineers to check how many clusters are up and running and how many clusters are accepting the workloads from the users. One of the best features that Komodor offers is Cloud AI, which debugs all the logs and gives the exact root cause for the issue. From there, we know we do not need an engineer who is an expert in Kubernetes to debug the issue. Cloud AI has definitely helped my team by saving time, not in a single instance but in multiple cases where we have used Cloud AI for debugging issues in the Kubernetes pods. Komodor has positively impacted our organization. Since adopting it, all the issues we faced while managing Rancher are gone, and we are seeing 100% availability for Komodor. 100% availability with Komodor means there have been improvements in uptime and productivity. For instance, when application teams want to deploy their applications, if Rancher is not up or running, the deployments usually fail at the deployment stage. In the case of Komodor, there have been no such cases reported after adopting it. We saw 100% uptime most of the time, except for some issues with AWS outages.

Integrated pipelines have accelerated continuous deployment and improved incident response
The powerful thing about Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is for deploying how to install our application, how to deploy it, and it is easy to work with this platform to do DevOps or CI/CD. It is easy to do CI/CD with this platform and to add functionality in our application. We can add functionality in our application easily with this platform. We can go quickly from dev testing, integrating, and deploying quickly with this platform. The integrated CI/CD pipelines of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform have a time-saving impact on our development process. When we use the CI/CD functionality, the main saving is really important compared to combining many other tools to have the same result. In Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, you have everything integrated, but in other platforms, you have to set up many tools to have the same output. In Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, it is ready to set up, or almost set up; you only have to configure it. Time-saving is one of the important things.
