STRATEC replaced its virtual Windows build environments with Red Hat OpenShift containers to meet strict healthcare regulations and improve reproducibility. This shift solved issues with outdated VMs, long setup times, and limited scalability. With containers, builds are faster, more secure, and easier to reproduce. Setup time dropped from 2 days to 1–2 hours, and multiple builds can now run in parallel. The new environment ensures compliance, simplifies updates, and supports STRATEC’s roadmap to migrate more services to OpenShift for better efficiency and scalability in its regulated software development process.
