Managed service comparison
Most of our services outlined in APPUiO Managed and APPUiO Managed Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform are applicable to Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine as well, as do the differences of the OpenShift editions.
The main difference is the workload architecture: We don’t deploy any infrastructure nodes, only control-plane and worker nodes. Any infrastructure workload is running on the worker nodes, except the control-plane components (API Server, Scheduler, Controller Managed and a few other components).
