Wondering is IBM is going to toss ICP away now that it is acquiring RedHat and its OpenShift platform... and I know that ICP is/has been integrated with Openshift, but what is the point to have more than one platform? Not to mention that ICP has been struggling to gain much traction.
That only makes the IBM story muddier...
Comments?
right
OpenShift is definitely the better and more future proof solution. According to reliable sources, ICP will be sunset at some point in the future because of issues with the platform and the little adoption it has.
ICP is just Kubernetes + some IBM lipstick. So ICP with Open Shift means that, since Open Shift is built on Docker and Kubernetes, you are running the ICP-specific containers in that environment. There is little that you can do with ICP that you cannot do just using Kubernetes and Open Shift. Yeah you get to pay IBM to support ICP but you have to weigh that cost tradeoff.
Great question. I just jumped on an ICP train and I am wondering if I should quickly jump off it before it crashes. And jump onto open shift ...
