Managed OpenShift
OpenShift, ready to run.
Without a platform build.
Many organisations need OpenShift for real workloads. They do not always need a large internal platform engineering project before the first application can run.

The practical choice
You need OpenShift. You may not need a platform project.
Some teams need OpenShift because the software they run depends on it. The priority is to get the workload running on a governed, supported environment, not to spend months assembling platform infrastructure first.
Workload first
Start from the application requirement instead of turning OpenShift setup into a separate internal programme.
Operations included
Platform lifecycle, monitoring, upgrades, and support are part of the managed environment from the start.
Enterprise fit
A European managed OpenShift path for teams with governance, support, and vendor workload requirements.
Decision point
Build a custom internal platform when that is the core product your team needs to own. Use managed OpenShift when the goal is to run certified or business-critical workloads on a supported platform quickly.
What you get
A production-ready OpenShift environment, operated for you.
The environment is managed as an operational service: lifecycle, monitoring, upgrades, support, and the platform basics required for real usage.
Operated by Stakater SRE
Platform health, patching, upgrades, monitoring, and incident response are handled by engineers who run OpenShift in production.
Managed OpenShift
A ready OpenShift environment for teams that need the platform but do not want a long internal build program.
Hosted in Europe
European hosting for teams with data residency, procurement, or regulatory requirements.
Lifecycle Management
Cluster setup, version planning, upgrades, and platform maintenance are part of the operating model.
Production Readiness
Monitoring, alerting, access control, and operational guardrails are treated as baseline requirements.
Ongoing Support
A practical support path for infrastructure teams, platform teams, and application owners running critical workloads.
Workload fit
Built for enterprise software that expects OpenShift.
This page is for teams evaluating OpenShift for specific enterprise workloads, vendor requirements, or regulated application platforms.
IBM Maximo
For teams evaluating OpenShift as the runtime for enterprise asset management and related integration workloads.
SAS Viya
For analytics teams that need a supported OpenShift target without turning platform setup into the main project.
Enterprise Applications
For business-critical software that expects OpenShift, Red Hat operators, or Kubernetes-native deployment controls.
Vendor-Certified Workloads
For infrastructure teams asked to provide OpenShift because a commercial platform depends on it.
Build vs managed
Avoid months of platform setup before the first workload runs.
Managed OpenShift is not a shortcut around engineering discipline. It is a way to move operational ownership to the team already built for it.
| Capability | Internal platform build | Managed OpenShift with Stakater |
|---|---|---|
| OpenShift cluster lifecycle | Requires platform build | Managed by Stakater |
| Security baseline | Designed and maintained internally | Configured as part of setup |
| Monitoring and alerting | Separate implementation work | Included in operations model |
| Patching and upgrades | Internal runbook and ownership | Handled by Stakater SRE |
| Incident response | Depends on internal coverage | Support path with OpenShift engineers |
| Time before workload focus | Often months of platform work | Start from a ready environment |

How it works
From requirement to running workloads.
The engagement starts with what you need to run, then works backward to the right managed OpenShift environment.
01 / Step
Scope the OpenShift requirement
We map the workload, hosting constraints, support needs, and any Red Hat or vendor requirements around the environment.
02 / Step
Provision the managed environment
Stakater prepares the OpenShift environment with the operational baseline needed for production use.
03 / Step
Run workloads with support
Your team focuses on the application. Stakater handles the platform lifecycle, operational health, and support path.
