Azure Red Hat OpenShift

Deploy and scale containers on managed Red Hat OpenShift.

Build, deploy, and scale apps on OpenShift with confidence

Azure Red Hat OpenShift provides highly available, fully managed OpenShift clusters on demand, monitored and operated jointly by Microsoft and Red Hat. Kubernetes is at the core of Red Hat OpenShift. OpenShift brings added-value features to complement Kubernetes, making it a turnkey container platform as a service (PaaS) with a significantly improved developer and operator experience.

Provision self-service, on-demand application stacks

Bring your code from a Git repository or an existing container image and build it using source-to-image (S2I) builds, or deploy solutions from the Developer Catalog such as OpenShift Service Mesh, OpenShift Serverless, or Knative.

Use built-in CI/CD

Automate build, test, and deployment of applications using OpenShift Pipelines, a serverless continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) system designed to scale, create a pipeline using GitHub Actions, or bring your own.

Try the rapid cloud development experience

Use Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces, a collaborative, fully containerized web IDE that runs on top of OpenShift, for a consistent, more secure, zero-configuration cloud application development experience.

Deliver applications with less operational complexity

Create public and private clusters in a few minutes

Deploy an Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster across multiple Azure Availability Zones where supported. Azure Red Hat OpenShift is jointly operated and supported by Microsoft and Red Hat with a service-level agreement (SLA) of 99.95 percent availability.

Control user and project access

Set up users, projects, and quotas. Review the cluster capacity and utilization, and monitor deployments using the administrator perspective in the web console.

Discover Operators from the Kubernetes community and Red Hat partners

Easily install Operators on your clusters for optional add-ons and shared services such as AI, machine learning, application runtimes, data, document stores, monitoring logging and insights, security, and messaging services.

Automate operations with over-the-air cluster updates

Automatically apply critical patch updates to clusters in Azure Red Hat OpenShift without affecting your deployed applications.

Comprehensive security and compliance, built in
