VSHN.timer #185: The Time of OpenShift 4.13

Welcome to another VSHN.timer! Every Monday, 5 links related to Kubernetes, OpenShift, CI / CD, and DevOps; all stuff coming out of our own chat system, making us think, laugh, or simply work better.

This week we’re going to talk about new features in Red Hat OpenShift 4.13.

1. Red Hat OpenShift 4.13, based on Kubernetes 1.26 and Crio 1.26 focuses on three core themes to accelerate modern application development and delivery: enhanced security, hybrid cloud infrastructure, and scalability. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

3. If you are running Red Hat OpenShift on VMware ESXi hypervisors, you’ll be happy to know that version 4.13 allows operators to distribute master and worker nodes across vSphere Data Centers and Clusters.

4. OpenShift 4.13 introduces many enhancements to elevate the observability experience. This version introduces the ability for users to customize node-exporter collectors, including tcpstat, netclass, netdev, and cpufreq, with more to come in the next release.

5. There’s a lot more to Red Hat OpenShift 4.13 that we can cover in a single VSHN.timer edition, but thankfully Red Hat has compiled all of the links in a single page.
