Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat as an OpenShift consultant<p>I don&#x27;t agree with the framing here. Comparing OpenShift to K8s does not make a lot of sense because Kubernetes is part of the OpenShift stack. It&#x27;s kind of like comparing Linux to Ubuntu. OpenShift is basically a bunch of operators deployed on top of K8s that turn K8s into a proper PaaS. Without OpenShift you bring your own authentication integration, logging, monitoring, etc. It&#x27;s better to compare OpenShift to EKS or AKS than it is to K8s.<p>&gt; <i>The biggest difference is that Kubernetes provides you with more flexibility, while OpenShift is opinionated, limiting choice to ensure security and concierge offerings. </i><p>OpenShift doesn&#x27;t limit any choice. You are free to use part of it or all of it. It&#x27;s just a bunch of operators on top of K8s.<p>Overall there are useful things in the article, and I think it could be helpful, but I wanted to clarify those things.
