Industry’s most comprehensive enterprise-grade,
Docker- and Kubernetes-native container platform expands developer
productivity and agility, delivers enhanced capabilities to deploy
cloud-scale applications
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform 3.3, bringing new developer features and deployment
scalability, on a secure enterprise container platform, to improve
application delivery across the hybrid cloud. Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform supports organizations as they build and
maintain both cloud-native and traditional applications, providing
a solution they can use across the application lifecycle, from
development to production.
Powered by open industry standards and built on the trusted
foundation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform 3.3 offers a single platform delivering Linux container
and container orchestration innovation, along with application
development and deployment capabilities, in a hardened,
enterprise-ready product. Red Hat is a leading contributor to both
the Docker and Kubernetes projects and the latest version of Red
Hat OpenShift Container Platform provides an enterprise version of
Kubernetes 1.3 and the Docker container runtime, built on a
foundation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, helping customers enjoy
the benefits of rapid innovation while retaining the stability,
reliability and security of an enterprise platform.
New features in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.3
include:
Enhancements to developer productivity and agility
In the modern IT organization, developers need to deliver better
applications and application updates, faster. Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform helps address this need by bringing new
automation capabilities to the application development lifecycle,
via new continuous delivery pipelines based on the Jenkins Pipeline
project and an aggregated developer dashboard that shows a unified
view of application pipelines. Additional new features provide
improved A/B testing automation through granular control of
application routing configurations through OpenShift’s integrated
routing and software-defined networking capabilities.
Deployments at cloud-scale
As the move to the cloud demands more scalability and
flexibility in computing platforms, Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform 3.3 helps deliver greatly improved platform scalability, a
substantial need for organizations operating mission-critical
applications at scale, supporting up to 1,000 nodes per computing
cluster. This enables larger scale deployments to support not only
new applications but also existing legacy applications in hybrid
cloud environments, helping enterprises retain existing application
investments without sacrificing innovation. Additionally, the
inherent Kubernetes capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform can now proactively monitor for and prevent against
resource starvation and unplanned downtime.
Enterprise-grade security
Security is one of the key concerns for organizations adopting
Linux Containers technology. OpenShift provides a secure,
enterprise-ready container platform, which includes support that
extends from the Linux operating system, to the container platform,
and to integrated application services. OpenShift includes Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, the most trusted and secure enterprise Linux
platform, and inherits all of its security features and ongoing
updates. Security features extend to the Docker container runtime,
which is integrated with Security Enhanced Linux for additional
multi-tenant security, and to OpenShift’s integrated container
registry, which allows administrators to manage their
Docker-formatted container images and allows them to control access
and image updates. Additional registry enhancements have been added
to OpenShift Container Platform 3.3, spanning users, teams and
their projects, including the ability to view image details and
manage access to images. OpenShift also provides integrated user
authorization and roles-based access controls for Kubernetes that
integrate with enterprise LDAP-systems, as well as integrated
security policies for container execution, so administrators can
control user access, permissions, quotas and access to pull and run
container images all in one place.
Red Hat’s expanded container portfolio spans private and fully
managed public cloud offerings, supporting the different aspects of
the application development process in one solution that can span
multiple infrastructures and offer containers-as-a-service. These
infrastructure environments include Red Hat OpenShift Container
Local, included in the Red Hat Container Developer Kit, Red Hat
OpenShift Container Lab, OpenShift Online and OpenShift Dedicated.
Red Hat’s portfolio of container-optimized solutions includes
storage, application services and management offerings, in addition
to free development tools.
Availability
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.3 will be available for
customer download on Sept. 27, 2016. The OpenShift Online and
OpenShift Dedicated platforms are scheduled for update shortly
following the availability of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
3.3.
Red Hat Open Innovation Labs: Jump-starting innovation
through containers and DevOps
In April 2016, Red Hat launched Red Hat Open Innovation Labs as
a consulting service that helps companies integrate people,
methodology, and technology to solve business challenges in an
accelerated fashion. In an Open Innovation Labs engagement,
customers work collaboratively in a residency-oriented environment,
using OpenShift Container Platform as a foundation for applying
lean and agile principles to bridge traditional and contemporary
application development. Customers can participate in an Open
Innovation Labs residency on their own site or at a Red Hat
site.
