Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat Consulting where my day job is 100% OpenShift.

You're probably using applications and systems which are hosted on OpenShift [0][1]. Second article says we have over 1100 customers which seems low, to me at least. We have OpenShift in a lot of places and you don't realize it (which is how we intend it). A subset of our customers can be found here [2].

I've personally worked on some really interesting systems and projects, successfully faced off against Black Friday, and reached some really interesting scales. But at the end of the day, OpenShift is a Kubernetes distribution [3] with an opinionated install story, an opinionated AppDev story, and the ability to be deployed on-prem, in the public & private clouds, and on VMs or baremetal. The try it on your laptop method can be found here, branded CodeReady Containers [4]. If you want to just play with an already running system, try learn.openshift.com [5].
