Question to redhat partner companies for certification and implementation etc, understanding why companies choose RedHat for consulting??
I am an anonymous guy.
I want to understand, the benefits/cons etc of being a redhat partner company.
From my perspective:
Pros:
- Easy client aquisition as there seems to be massive demand for certifications and implementing redhat consulted products (Sattelite and AAP and openshift(God knows why they wont use k3s or k8s or much simpler robust stuff-I feel they botched RHOSP though)).
- Lots of money.
Cons:
- Ecosystem lock in.
- No more self-identity. Will just be a redhat partner company.
But from my perspective I believe we can provide a much more robust, cheaper and better solutions at scale than redhat established software can.
And even maintain the software at a fraction of the cost.
So Question is, Why won't big companies in Europe or Middle East or Other countries choose companies out of India or south east Asia to maintain their infra and stuff with their own software? But when branded redhat partner they suddenly seem more attractive??
What are your thoughts?
Is it because they are American or some subtle racism thing or idk. Just wanna ask :)
Again my personal feeling is that the companies just want to blow the money and overcomplicate solutions to simple problems.
Does redhat give kickbacks to Point of Contacts or anything shady?
And after interacting with many of their(Redhat) Engineers, I do not think they are some out of earth godly devs either/consulting people either and make the routine mistakes any other one would. And with AI, anyone can do much better fancy uncomplicated documentation.
So the question stands, why do big companies believe redhat is special for consulting?
More directly, if you are a big company, why choose redhat? instead of one of the million other companies out of Asia?
Or is it a marketing thing?
And how to gain your trust, if you are a big company?
