Linux Polska – Your Red Hat OpenShift implementation expert

Comprehensive Services for Red Hat OpenShift

We implement OpenShift based on a proven four-step methodology that includes needs analysis, architectural design, production environment launch, and integration with existing systems.

Each stage takes into account the specifics of the client’s environment and the requirements for availability, security, performance, observability, and maintainability.

Our implementation teams collaborate with the client’s teams starting from the design phase, which helps avoid costly corrections at later stages.

We use infrastructure reference patterns that comply with Red Hat guidelines and DevOps best practices.

A typical project takes 2-3 months to complete, depending on the scale and complexity of the IT environment.

We help migrate monolithic applications to a containerized architecture, including microservices and a cloud-native approach.

We use a methodology of both simple replatforming and gradual refactoring, enabling a phased modernization of applications without interrupting service continuity, as well as one-time, comprehensive modernization.

We verify application dependencies, data structure, and performance requirements to select the optimal deployment model in OpenShift.

Our efforts lead to increased application scalability, flexibility, and resilience to infrastructure changes.

We design and implement operational automation based on an Infrastructure as Code approach using Ansible, Terraform, and Operators.

We introduce GitOps practices that enable declarative state management and full change control.

We reduce manual administrative operations, minimizing the risk of errors and improving deployment predictability.

We also automate the monitoring, updates, and scaling of services within the OpenShift cluster.

The result is a stable, repeatable, and easy-to-maintain container environment that complies with audit requirements and IT policies.

We ensure the security of the OpenShift environment through a multi-layered approach that includes container, cluster, and pipeline security.

We implement container image scanning, RBAC access control, and integration with IAM systems.

We configure secret management mechanisms and automatic credential rotation.

We set up network security policies, project isolation, and communication security.

We tailor the environment to comply with standards such as ISO 27001, as well as DORA, KNF, or NIS2 guidelines.

We offer operational support tailored to real-world needs—from managing critical incidents to providing ongoing technical advice.

We operate on an SLA model adjusted to your specific needs and operations. We monitor the status of the cluster and its components, reacting proactively to potential failures or anomalies.

We assist with managing the lifecycle of OpenShift components—updates, cluster expansion, and performance optimization.

Through regular environment reviews and technical consultations, we support the long-term stability and compliance of the platform with business expectations.

We conduct dedicated technical training for administrators, operators, and DevOps teams working with OpenShift.

Our training takes the form of practical workshops using the client’s actual environment or our labs, with the curriculum determined by real-world use cases in the user’s environment.

We transfer knowledge on daily cluster maintenance, application creation, CI/CD, GitOps, and container security.

Participants gain the skills to independently manage the platform and respond to typical operational scenarios.

We also support the building of internal competencies through mentoring and documentation tailored to the organization’s processes.
