CloudBees vs OpenShift: What are the differences?

Developers describe CloudBees as "Enterprise Jenkins and DevOps". Enables organizations to build, test and deploy applications to production, utilizing continuous delivery practices. They are focused solely on Jenkins as a tool for continuous delivery both on-premises and in the cloud. On the other hand, OpenShift is detailed as "Red Hat's free Platform as a Service (PaaS) for hosting Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, Node.js, and Perl apps". OpenShift is Red Hat's Cloud Computing Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. OpenShift is an application platform in the cloud where application developers and teams can build, test, deploy, and run their applications.

CloudBees and OpenShift can be categorized as "Platform as a Service" tools.

Some of the features offered by CloudBees are:

  • Hosted CI/CD as a Service
  • Flexible and governed software delivery automation
  • Starter Kit

On the other hand, OpenShift provides the following key features:

  • Built-in support for Node.js, Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl, and Java (the standard in today's Enterprise)
  • OpenShift is extensible with a customizable cartridge functionality that allows developers to add any other language they wish. We've seen everything from Clojure to Cobol running on OpenShift.
  • OpenShift supports frameworks ranging from Spring, to Rails, to Play

OpenShift is an open source tool with 915 GitHub stars and 563 GitHub forks. Here's a link to OpenShift's open source repository on GitHub.

Accenture, Vungle, and Hazeorid are some of the popular companies that use OpenShift, whereas CloudBees is used by Netflix, Randstad, and Watchguard Technologies, Inc.. OpenShift has a broader approval, being mentioned in 50 company stacks & 52 developers stacks; compared to CloudBees, which is listed in 3 company stacks and 4 developer stacks.
