I did much of what you described before, and I'm planing to do what you did. So three years after using Contabo VPS to host openshift, would you do it again?
My name is Matteo and I'm a cloud solution architect and tech enthusiast. In my spare time, I work on open source software as much as I can. I simply enjoy writing software that is actually useful.
Hi! Yes, I'm still a fairly happy Contabo customer after 3 years. I did however switch from OpenShift to vanilla Kubernetes (installed via Kubespray) because in these years I gained more knowledge about the platform (we use it at work) and I wanted to manage my own things, like the reverse proxy.
But OpenShift is still a very solid platform, so yeah if you like it go for it!
I'm a bit overwhelmed by kubernetes, so I look for something more noob-friendly. Openshift 4 seems to require quite a lot of infrastructure (3 is old), so I have my eyes on rancher. Seems to be a much leaner approach. I have to gear up my know how until early next year to deploy an inexpensive deployment for 3 node.js servers, reddis, mongo and some logging/reporting pods. Kubernetes definitely seems to be the way to go, but securing and operating it feels like a nightmare to me. I start missing the good old times when we were thinking in terms of "servers"and vi was the main devop tool :-)
