In this post we share a few customer stories of successful migration to provide some insight you can offer these customers who are still apprehensive or uncertain about making the migration process.

Challenge
Reduce complexity and costs, improve security, and increase developer adoption.

Results
- Migrated 174 apps from Red Hat OpenShift 3.11 to Red Hat OpenShift 4.3 on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Spent fewer hours on operations and more time on end user needs, which has accelerated internal adoption of Red Hat OpenShift
- Increased security features and patches through the latest version of Red Hat OpenShift
- Ability to use recent features of Kubernetes because Red Hat OpenShift 4 follows these updates closely
