OpenShift Enterprise 3.1 and Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform
provide a comprehensive, modular solution for developing, delivering and
managing container-based applications across the open hybrid cloud
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
KUBECON--Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider
of open source solutions, today unveiled key enhancements to its
comprehensive portfolio for developing and deploying enterprise-ready
applications using Linux containers, OpenShift and Atomic. As more
enterprises look to adopt container-based architectures for
application workloads, Red Hat's enhanced offerings enable the use of
Docker-formatted Linux containers to create microservices-based
applications and modernize traditional workloads - all benefiting from
security features of a consistent foundation based on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux.
Red Hat's updated offerings are:
-
OpenShift Enterprise 3.1, the latest version of Red Hat's
application platform designed to build, deploy and run stateful and
stateless applications on private and public cloud infrastructure.
-
Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform Public Preview, an optimized
container infrastructure platform for deploying, running and managing
containers across the enterprise.
Together, they provide a comprehensive platform for running traditional
and container-based applications. This means that customers do not need
to re-architect applications to run on Red Hat technologies, and enables
enterprises to develop, integrate, deploy, and manage a variety of
applications consistently across a more secure, container-optimized
infrastructure.
OpenShift Enterprise 3.1
OpenShift by Red Hat is the industry's only enterprise-ready, web-scale
container application platform based on Docker format Linux containers,
Kubernetes orchestration, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. This newest
release updates the Docker and Kubernetes experience for developers,
adds middleware services for OpenShift, and expands OpenStack
integration. These enhancements and new features deliver a
next-generation platform that provides developers with flexibility and
choice and IT operations teams with actionable insight and more
streamlined management, supporting traditional stateful applications and
newer cloud native stateless applications.
New and enhanced capabilities within OpenShift Enterprise 3.1 include:
-
Application lifecycle management for containers including new
and updated self-service tools for developing applications from Web,
command line or IDE interfaces, application build automation
enhancements, Jenkins CI integration and automated deployment
capabilities to manage applications from development to production.
-
An enterprise-grade container infrastructure (also available
separately in public preview as Atomic Enterprise Platform) which uses
the latest, stable Docker container format standard and the Kubernetes
orchestration engine, providing a reliable environment for developing
container-based applications.
-
Access to new Red Hat JBoss Middleware services that easily
integrate within a container architecture, including Red Hat JBoss
Fuse, Red Hat JBoss BRMS, and Red Hat JBoss Data Grid. These offerings
help developers to build and integrate faster and adaptable
applications with familiar, supported open source tools with
significantly less "ramp-up" time and a unified experience across
hybrid architectures.
-
Advanced management capabilities (provided by Red Hat
CloudForms) around containers, projects and users with an
ability to extend across traditional VM based infrastructure and
private and public clouds.
-
Enhanced user experience and web console with better
application controls and activity visualization; logging and metrics
capabilities.
Atomic Enterprise Platform Public Preview
To encourage early customer and partner adoption of container technology
and foster community participation, Red Hat is also making its container
infrastructure capabilities available through Atomic Enterprise Platform
as a freely accessible public preview. The platform
is powered by a scale-out cluster of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic
Host, Red Hat's minimal footprint, container-optimized operating system,
or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 instances, forming the enterprise-class
foundation for delivering both cloud-native and traditional applications
with containers.
Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform includes:
-
Runtime and packaging format powered by Docker and the Open
Container Initiative (OCI) format.
-
Orchestration and cluster services, built on Kubernetes, for
complex multi-container services and scheduling across a host cluster.
-
Networking and storage plug-ins: scalable, multi-host container
networking, powered by Open vSwitch, and persistent storage plugins to
enable running of stateful services in containers.
-
Registry services for more secure storage and management of
shared container images
-
Container standards and security highlighted by Red Hat's
expanded certified
container ecosystem, which aims to help fully realize a
comprehensive, more secure model for containerized application
delivery.
In addition, the integration of Red Hat Gluster Storage and Red Hat Ceph
Storage with OpenShift Enterprise 3.1 and Red Hat Atomic Enterprise
Platform Public Preview is now fully supported by Red Hat, with the goal
to provide seamless, elastic storage for applications or microservices
running in containers. Through a number of Kubernetes volume plugins,
Red Hat gives IT organizations significantly more granular control and
flexibility in choice for the best storage protocol for use with
stateful container-based applications.
Availability
OpenShift Enterprise 3.1 is scheduled to be generally available at the
end of November, coinciding with the availability of Red Hat Atomic
Enterprise Platform Public Preview.
