Looking for a reasonably priced and dependable cloud solution, I suggest IBM Cloud Virtual Servers to everyone. For businesses needing excellent uptime and performance free from the trouble of running actual servers, it's fantastic. However, it may not be the best choice if you need hands on support for server configurations.

RedHat OpenShift is not only suited for IBM Cloud but can run in ANY cloud. We installed in Azure Cloud, for example. It can also run on Linux servers or a Power 9 machine. It is built for multi-cloud or on-prem environments. IBM support provides such excellent guidance in the installation and configuration that no other product on the market can beat it.
