OpenShift 3 v. Cloud Foundry

[Ned Horvath]

Here at UT we are running the traps on a PaaS platform for general use and support in the many departments and offices at the university. We have, with various exclusion criteria, narrowed the field of dozens to two:

Pivot Cloud Foundry

Red Hat OpenShift 3

I'm looking for any feedback from the Agile Austin (or broader) community -- experiences you've had with one or the other, if you did a head-to-head comparison what did you learn, etc.

I'm happy to hold all communications in confidence if you so request. 

Thanks for your input,

Ned Horvath

I don’t have direct experience with either product, but I am now employed by VMware, and I can tell you that Pivotal is a member of the EMC/VMware family. So, if you have any VMware or EMC products/services that you’d like to integrate with your PaaS, then Pivotal would be a more natural choice in that space than OpenShift.

Other than that, I’ve heard good thing about both of them, but without any direct personal experience I don’t know that I can say much more.


If you’re looking for OpenStack-related products, also take a look at VMware Integrated Openstack (VIO), which I have been told can play very nicely with Pivotal.
