Why OpenShift?

What is OpenShift?

Red Hat OpenShift is the leading application platform for developing, modernizing, and deploying comprehensive applications, including state-of-the-art AI-powered apps.

OpenShift helps developers and businesses efficiently build, deploy, and manage applications in hybrid cloud environments. With a wide range of integrated tools and services, OpenShift accelerates innovation and ensures a consistent infrastructure for traditional, modernized, and cloud-native applications.

OpenShift is a Kubernetes distribution, similar to how Ubuntu is a Linux distribution, enabling DevOps – the seamless integration of software development (Dev), platform engineering, IT operations (Ops), and security – transforming your entire software development process.

The technological foundation of OpenShift consists of Linux, Kubernetes, containers, and automation. Red Hat’s Open Hybrid Cloud approach provides the flexibility to run applications where they are needed. Whether developing new applications or modernizing existing ones, OpenShift supports the most demanding workloads, including AI/ML, edge computing, and more.

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform provides a secure and stable environment for container-based deployments without making previous IT investments obsolete – business-critical, traditional applications can run alongside new cloud- and container-based applications.

The Key Benefits of Red Hat OpenShift

A container platform like Red Hat OpenShift, with its open architecture and agile methodologies, helps simplify services, enhance security, and standardize and accelerate processes.

Faster Application Development

OpenShift offers developer-friendly workflows, including built-in Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. This enables you to move your applications quickly from code development to containerized deployment – saving time and increasing agility.

Unified Hybrid Cloud Platform

OpenShift ensures that your applications run consistently – whether on-premises, in the public cloud, or in hybrid environments. This gives you the flexibility to decide where to run your workloads.

Improved Security and Compliance

Security is built-in from the start: OpenShift is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and includes security checks throughout the entire application lifecycle. This makes it easier to meet compliance requirements and minimize security risks.

Efficient Operations

Automated installation, upgrades, and Kubernetes cluster management reduce the administrative burden. Scaling and self-service features give developers more flexibility while maintaining full control over the environment.

Broad Integration with Other Technologies

OpenShift integrates with a wide range of platforms and tools, including AI/ML frameworks, data analytics solutions, and DevOps pipelines. This allows you to maximize existing technologies and seamlessly adopt new innovations.
