Azure Red Hat OpenShift

Deploy and scale containers on managed Red Hat OpenShift
OVERVIEW

Improve DevOps with a fully managed, turnkey container platform

  • 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 value-added features to complement Kubernetes, making it a turnkey container platform as a service (PaaS) that significantly improves developer and operator experiences.
  • Take advantage of the enhanced user interface for application topology and builds in the web console to build, deploy, configure, and visualize containerized applications and cluster resources more easily.

  • 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.
  • Automate the 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.
  • Use Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces, a collaborative, fully containerized web IDE that runs on top of OpenShift. You’ll get a consistent, more secure, zero-configuration cloud application development experience.
