OpenShift is the worst. We used to use OpenShift Online v2 for hosting due to them providing grants.
It was a bunch of RHEL5 years past the regular EOL and layers of Apache reverse proxies in front of your code.
They launched v3 in July 2017 and deprecated v2 the next month.

They initially only provided until September 2017 until all your stuff would be completely wiped. Look at openshift.com/blog/migrate-t. People were so mad that they extended it to December 2017 for paying customers. That included us despite the grants covering all our use.
v3 was an entirely different platform with nothing in common with v2. They switched from their whole own horrifying stack to a new far more complex but more modern Kubernetes hosting service.
At that time, they literally only used AWS and seemingly sold everything at a loss...

Basically, the purpose of the service was to take AWS and make it substantially worse. No clue what it is now, but I'll always remember it as the service which provided 1 month before the entire platform would be taken down with no direct replacement and all data deleted.
