We manage your OpenShift platform — on-premise and in the cloud — with Red Hat certified engineers and a guaranteed SLA, so your team focuses on building, not operating.
The Problem
These are the real scenarios we see in companies running OpenShift without professional specialized management.
SCCs, Routes, OperatorHub, RHCOS, built-in OAuth — layers that vanilla K8s simply doesn't have. A senior K8s engineer without Red Hat-specific certifications (DO280, RHCA) can spend weeks figuring out why their deployment fails. The required specialization goes far beyond kubectl and Helm.
Specialized complexityUpgrading OpenShift means synchronizing RHCOS, etcd, the control plane, and every installed operator. One wrong step can leave the cluster inoperable. The result: companies running 2–3 versions behind "just to be safe," accumulating technical debt and unpatched CVEs while product support expires.
Upgrade riskSecurity Context Constraints (SCCs) block containers running as root or with elevated privileges. Legacy or third-party applications that work perfectly on vanilla K8s fail on OpenShift. The Dev team spends days investigating security policies and permission errors instead of shipping features.
Application compatibilityOpenShift runs on RHCOS subscriptions. Without active entitlement management, you end up paying for nodes you don't use — or running unsupported nodes you do use. It's a permanent operational burden that gets ignored until Red Hat sends an audit. The result: billing surprises and clusters out of support.
License managementMany companies run OCP on-premise for regulated workloads and ROSA/ARO in the public cloud for elastic workloads. Managing both environments consistently — networking, storage, security policies, upgrades — requires two distinct engineer profiles that rarely coexist in the same team. Without unified management, environments drift out of sync within weeks: different configurations, different versions, different processes, different risk profiles.
Hybrid complexityThe Solution
A single team with Red Hat certifications that operates your OpenShift platform end-to-end — from IPI/UPI installation to reactive support at 3AM.
IPI/UPI installation on-premise or cloud. OperatorHub, OpenShift GitOps, Pipelines, and SCC policy configuration. Monitoring and PagerDuty setup. Red Hat entitlement management. Context transfer and knowledge base from day one.
Safe OCP + RHCOS upgrades with pre-upgrade etcd snapshot and planned rollback. Operator lifecycle management. Control plane health checks. Manifest and configuration backups. Weekly and monthly operations reports.
Incident response in 24x7 mode. Guaranteed response in 20 min (business hours) and 30 min (off-hours). Support for pods, deployments, SCCs, and operators through to resolution and client approval. Wiki updated with every incident.
Specialized Management
Running self-managed OpenShift requires more than cluster access. It requires a certified team, 24/7 availability, and proven processes.
Your team operates the cluster on top of their usual responsibilities. No proven upgrade processes, no 24/7 coverage, no managed entitlements.
Red Hat Premier Partner. RHCA/RHCE certified engineers. We operate your complete platform — upgrades, operators, SCCs, entitlements, and 24/7 support.
The highest certification tier from Red Hat. Not marketing — it means Premier support access, engineers with RHCA/RHCE certifications, and direct visibility into the product roadmap. Not all partners are Premier: it's the level that distinguishes those who truly operate OpenShift at scale.
The most dreaded task in OpenShift, handled with a proven process: full operator health validation, etcd snapshot as rollback point, coordinated RHCOS and control plane upgrade, and post-upgrade verification. Your cluster always on a supported version, no surprises.
One team, one operational process, one point of contact. OCP on-premise, ROSA on AWS, and ARO on Azure — all managed with the same rigor: same security policies, same upgrade process, same reports. No friction between environments, no double management.
Managing OpenShift internally is like buying high-precision industrial machinery and asking your production team to maintain it too. The machine runs — until it needs calibration, a specific part fails, or a manufacturer update requires stopping the line. That's when you discover no one on the team is certified to touch it. Andes Digital is the specialized technical team that operates that machinery for you: we know every component, we keep everything in manufacturer spec, and when something breaks at 3AM, there's a certified engineer who picks up.

Frequently asked questions
OpenShift is an enterprise Kubernetes distribution with hardened security by default, a web console, integrated CI/CD (Pipelines and GitOps), operator management, an image registry and Red Hat support. In practice, it removes the work of integrating and hardening all those components separately on top of native Kubernetes.
OpenShift makes sense when you need enterprise support, compliance and a standardized platform for many teams without building everything by hand. Standard Kubernetes makes sense if you prioritize cost and flexibility and have a mature team to operate it. We help you compare the total cost of ownership of both options.
The OpenShift subscription is licensed per core or per node under Red Hat's model; we price the professional services separately, by implementation scope. As a Red Hat Premier Partner, we manage licensing and implementation together. We start with a free initial consultation.
Yes. As a partner, we provide first-line support and escalate to Red Hat when needed, plus managed operations: upgrades, security and monitoring. We also train your team to operate OpenShift autonomously.
