Red Hat adds new capabilities and enhancements to it’s OpenShift, and the general availability of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service. The new features, delivered with the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift 4.16, are designed to help organizations more easily develop, connect and enhance the security of diverse workloads for a more consistent experience across applications and environments.
Delivering better experiences and driving customer satisfaction are at the center of most organization’s IT goals. The latest enhancements to Red Hat OpenShift are designed to help organizations connect their disparate, diverse workloads and create a more consistent management and deployment experience, wherever an application lives across the hybrid cloud and regardless of whether the application is a traditional workhorse or built to harness AI innovation.
Red Hat is now offering directly and through its partners a Virtualization Migration Assessment that will take organizations through a risk assessment methodology to help determine the best path forward for migration away from a legacy virtualization solution. The latest enhancements in Red Hat OpenShift for virtualization use cases help further simplify migrating and modernizing virtualized workloads.
Mike Barrett, Vice President and GM, Hybrid Cloud Platforms, Red Hat said, “Being able to more quickly modernize both infrastructure and applications are crucial capabilities to better support customer needs — but this can’t be done overnight. Red Hat OpenShift helps customers prepare their infrastructure for the demands of AI while managing and maintaining traditional, mission-critical applications and infrastructure like virtualized environments, all from a single platform.”
To enhance service quality at the edge, Red Hat OpenShift 4.16, introduces a “shift left” approach with image-based updates (IBU) for single node OpenShift. Additionally, the OpenShift-based Appliance Builder is now available as a technology preview to Red Hat partners seeking to build turnkey, customized appliances with self-contained Red Hat OpenShift instances.
To help organizations take a security-forward approach to building, deploying and maintaining cloud-native applications at scale, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service is now generally available. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service is a fully managed Kubernetes-native security cloud service that supports both Red Hat OpenShift as well as non-Red Hat Kubernetes platforms, including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
