The pricing for OpenShift is similar to other solutions like Docker ( /products/docker-37146-reviews ) Studio. The plans with ARO and AWS are standard in the market. However, using OpenShift on-premise or in a private cloud is considered expensive compared to the standardized plans of ARO or Rosa.

Azure Red Hat OpenShift is not a low-price solution; it's expensive. Pricing depends on the strategy and whether you buy it directly from Red Hat or the Azure portal. Additionally, some customers may need a complete disaster recovery solution, which requires additional licensing and software products for implementation, such as backups.
Compared to other cloud environments like Amazon or Google, Azure Red Hat OpenShift is an expensive solution. I rate the solution a six out of ten for pricing.

It's expensive compared to a similar product, and we've only used some of its features on Kubernetes. Therefore, we are evaluating whether we will consider the possibility of replacing OpenShift, but nothing is certain yet.

When it comes to pricing, I would say Red Hat has a lot of flexibility. You can work with them and they are very flexible on pricing. Especially if you're new at it, they're extremely aggressive to let you try the product and they bring their prices way down. The one problem with that can be – and something a lot of companies worry about – that if you get it really cheap, they will nail you two years down the road because you can't get rid of it easily and it can get very expensive. I have not seen that in the two companies I've worked for with OpenShift. For us, the price has gone up because we used it more but they didn't kill us on the pricing. So I think they're quite flexible on their pricing and they're competitive and they know you can choose other vendors to do your Kubernetes with besides OpenShift. So I would say to other people that are looking at getting it: be aggressive on the pricing and do your homework, see what else it would cost to you somewhere else, and then hammer that salesperson to get you the best price.
Azure Red Hat OpenShift provides highly available, fully managed OpenShift clusters on demand, monitored and operated jointly by Microsoft and Red Hat. Kubernetes is at the core of Red Hat OpenShift. OpenShift brings added-value features to complement Kubernetes, making it a turnkey container platform as a service (PaaS) with a significantly improved developer and operator experience.

Red Hat OpenShift is cheaper than Broadcom VMware. Pricing discussions typically follow considerations of functionality, efficiency, and strategy.
