Lessons Learned

• Rethinking release planning (fine granular releases vs. big bang milestones)

• Short feedback cycles vs. customer resources availability

• Red Hat consultants

• Developers’/Ops team’s mindset: need to do ops/understand dev

• Start with OpenShift integration from the beginning

• Always use RHEL images

• Know what is supported

• Isolate infra and app nodes
