On May 13, 2020, an announcement made by the leading tech giants, Amazon and Red Hat, showed their extended strategic alliance and will bring a sea of change in the way OpenShift support is provided in the public cloud. Amazon Red Hat OpenShift is combining the power of Red Hat OpenShift, which is the industry’s highly extensive Kubernetes platform on the AWS public cloud.
“Bringing Amazon Red Hat OpenShift to the market alongside our long-time partner AWS pairs the enterprise leader in open source technologies, including Kubernetes, with the leader in public cloud infrastructure and services. Together, we’re delivering an innovative, cloud-native platform that’s enterprise ready today, no matter the technology challenge” says Sathish Balakrishnan, Vice President, Hosted Platforms, Red Hat.
In a blogpost, he also wrote about what customers will gain out of this. The benefits he covered are:
The world’s most comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes platform, already used by more than 2,000 customers around the globe.
Extensive, native integration with AWS services. AWS’ robust portfolio of cloud services, from compute, storage, networking, database, analytics and machine learning are directly accessible via Amazon Red Hat OpenShift, making it a lot more easier to build, operate and scale universally on-demand through a familiar management interface.
A clear path to hybrid cloud deployments through Red Hat OpenShift, that is, it delivers production-ready Kubernetes that many enterprises already use on-premises today, thus simplifying the ability to shift workloads to the AWS public cloud as business needs dictate.
Preview of this most awaited collaboration is expected to launch in the coming months. Want to sign up for a preview? Fill out this form (https://www.redhat.com/forms/?config=67571). Accepted participants will be notified via email as soon as the preview is available.
Looks like AWS and Red Hat are read to make it big and are here to “provide support such that you can deploy your applications in production with confidence.”
