Enterprise Kubernetes platform enables
application creation from diverse services available on Amazon Web
Services and on-premise to ease administrative challenges and
accelerate hybrid cloud innovation
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today launched Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform 3.7, the latest version of Red Hat’s enterprise-grade
Kubernetes container application platform. As application
complexity and cloud incompatibility loom, Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform 3.7 helps IT organizations to build and manage
applications that use services from the datacenter to the public
cloud. The newest iteration of the industry’s most comprehensive
enterprise Kubernetes platform includes native integrations with
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Service Brokers that enable developers to
bind services across AWS and on-premise resources to create modern
applications while providing a consistent, open standards-based
foundation to drive business evolution.
Cloud-native enterprise applications can consume services from
multiple locations, including from the data center and multiple
public clouds. Also, according to 451 Research, more than 60
percent of enterprises implementing cloud strategies are using two
(or more) different cloud environments -- on-premises private
clouds, hosted private cloud, and multiple public clouds.
Increasingly, modern applications built for digital transformation
rely on a mesh of loosely-coupled component and microservices,
making consistency across cloud providers a significant challenge,
but one that Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.7 helps to
address.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform unites developers and IT
operations on a single platform to build, deploy, and manage
applications consistently across hybrid cloud infrastructures. This
helps businesses achieve greater value by delivering modern and
traditional applications with shorter development cycles and
increased efficiencies. The platform is built on open source
innovation and industry standards, including Red Hat Enterprise
Linux and Kubernetes, and is trusted by many companies around the
world.
Bringing hybrid cloud applications to life
With modern applications reliant upon disparate services and
components from on-premise and cloud-based resources, being able to
effectively stitch these pieces together in a consistent manner can
be critical to delivering business innovation. Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform 3.7 helps to answer this need with the
OpenShift Service Catalog, a fully-supported feature that
enables IT organizations to connect any application running on the
OpenShift platform to a wide variety of services, regardless of
where that service runs.
The OpenShift Service Catalog helps users search for, provision,
and bind application services to OpenShift applications while
providing a more secure and consistent way for administrators to
provide new services to end users. This helps to free development
teams from having to deeply understand service creation or
consumption, and places more emphasis on building applications to
deliver business value rather than sourcing services.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.7 will ship with
OpenShift Template Broker, which turns any OpenShift
Template into a discoverable service for application developers
using OpenShift. OpenShift Templates are lists of OpenShift objects
that can be implemented within specific parameters, making it
easier for IT organizations to deploy reusable, composite
applications comprised of microservices.
Also included with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.7 is
OpenShift Ansible Broker for provisioning and managing
services through the OpenShift Service Catalog by using Ansible to
define OpenShift Services. OpenShift Ansible Broker enables users
to provision services both on and off the OpenShift platform,
helping to simplify and automate complex workflows involving varied
services and applications across on-premise and cloud-based
resources.
Production support for Service Catalog in OpenShift Container
Platform builds upon Red Hat’s strong hybrid cloud technology
portfolio, which includes:
- Red Hat OpenShift Application
Runtimes, a collection of supported runtimes to lower the entry
barrier for building and deploying cloud-native applications (now
in beta).
- Red Hat Container-Native Storage
3.6, an enterprise-grade software-defined storage solution
built from Red Hat Gluster Storage that serves storage out of
containers, both on-premises and in the cloud.
AWS Service integration
First announced at Red Hat Summit 2017, Red
Hat now makes popular AWS services accessible directly from Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform. This integration enables AWS users to
configure and deploy these services from OpenShift, and provides a
single path of enterprise-grade support for customer needs.
At launch, accessible AWS services through
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.7 include:
- Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)
- Amazon Relational Database Services
(RDS)
- Amazon Route 53
- Amazon Simple Storage Services
(S3)
- Amazon Simple Notification Service
(SNS)
- Amazon ElastiCache
- Amazon Redshift
- Amazon DynamoDB
- Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR)
Additional features
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.7 also adds additional
features and capabilities to help improve user experience and
enhance platform security. These features include:
- Network Policy is now out of
Technology Preview and generally supported, enabling project
administrators to apply network rules and policies to inbound
traffic for specific OpenShift pods.
- Prometheus (Tech Preview) is
being introduced for monitoring and alerting in Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform 3.7, building the popular monitoring solution
(and CNCF project) directly into the OpenShift platform.
Supporting Quotes
Ashesh Badani, vice president and general manager, OpenShift,
Red Hat“Modern, cloud-native applications are not monolithic stacks
with clear-cut needs and resources; to more effectively embrace
modern applications, IT organizations need to re-imagine how their
developers find, provision and consume critical services and
resources across a hybrid architecture. Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform 3.7 addresses these needs head-on by providing hybrid
access to services through its service catalog, enabling developers
to more easily find and bind necessary services to their
business-critical applications--no matter where these services
exist--and adding close integration with AWS to further streamline
cloud-native development and deployment.”
Matt Yanchyshyn, director, Partner Solution Architecture, Amazon
Web Services, Inc.“We are excited about our collaboration with Red
Hat and the general availability of the first AWS Service Brokers
in Red Hat OpenShift. The ability to seamlessly configure and
deploy a range of AWS services from within OpenShift will allow our
customers to benefit from AWS’s rapid pace of innovation, both
on-premises and in the cloud.”
