What is Red Hat OpenShift?

Red Hat® OpenShift® is the leading enterprise application platform for enterprises who want to build, deploy and run cloud-native applications from a hybrid cloud to the edge.

Spend more time building applications not building platforms

You need more than Kubernetes. You need an application platform that consists of tools and services to enable quick onboarding, developer productivity, and consistent deployment & management. Red Hat takes on the burden of navigating a fast moving complex ecosystem to provide you with a complete and supported application platform consisting of over 50 open source projects that can be deployed to the hybrid cloud and edge.

Consistently build new applications or modernize existing ones

Increase developer productivity and ease the management burden by having consistent processes regardless of where you run new or modernized applications.

Enhanced Security

This offering includes Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes, which provides multi-cluster governance throughout the entire application lifecycle. This reduces the time and effort needed to implement security by serving as a centralized source of truth. With this capability, you can streamline security analysis, investigation, and remediation processes across multiple Kubernetes clusters. Red Hat Quay, also included in OpenShift Platform Plus, also provides a security-focused and scalable private registry platform for managing content and container images across environments.

Amplified Governance and Policy Management

This offering includes Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes that unifies multicluster management, provides policy-based governance, and extends application life-cycle management which lowers operational costs.
