Red Hat Breaks Down Barriers to Building Cloud-Native Microservices with Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes
First-of-its-kind offering provides pre-built, multi-language
runtimes for faster and easier creation of microservices across open
hybrid clouds
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes, a new
offering that accelerates cloud-native application development with
pre-built, containerized runtime foundations for polyglot microservices.
Optimized for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat OpenShift
Application Runtimes provide more secure, productive, high-performance
foundations for microservices design, helping to move modern, composite
applications from concept to delivery faster and more easily along a
prescriptive development path.
Every company is now a technology company, and agile delivery of
cloud-native, containerized applications is now an enterprise
imperative. However, traditional heavyweight, monolithic and proprietary
application development solutions have not kept pace with the needs of
agile, cloud-native development.
Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes help developers leapfrog the
barriers of traditional application development tools by providing a
tightly integrated and fully supported offering for developing with
multiple languages and frameworks. The offering frees developers from
tedious pre-coding set-up and enables them to focus their effort on
writing applications that directly benefit the business and accelerating
time-to-market.
Red Hat OpenShift: The industry’s most comprehensive enterprise
Kubernetes platform for cloud-native application development
Red Hat OpenShift is the industry’s most comprehensive, enterprise
Kubernetes platform to run cloud-native apps. With the addition of Red
Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes, Red Hat is building on the Linux
container and Kubernetes-based foundation of Red
Hat OpenShift to provide runtime frameworks such as Spring Boot,
WildFly Swarm, Eclipse
MicroProfile, Eclipse Vert.x, and Node.js that complement Red Hat's
portfolio of cloud-based middleware services, Red
Hat OpenShift Application Services, creating a powerful platform for
organizations to create, integrate, deploy and manage cloud-native
applications.
Certified and supported runtimes planned for inclusion are:
- WildFly Swarm – WildFly Swarm is an open source framework based
on the WildFly Application Server that implements the MicroProfile 1.0
specification and helps developers transition from creating monolithic
Java applications to creating microservices using the Java language.
- Eclipse Vert.x – Vert.x is an open source toolkit for building
reactive, high concurrency, low latency applications and is
well-suited for supporting the asynchronous communications required by
a microservices architecture.
- Node.js – Node.js is a lightweight JavaScript framework that is
used to develop non-blocking, event-driven server-side applications.
- Spring Boot – Spring Boot is an opinionated framework for
rapidly building stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based
applications.
Combined with the newly-announcedOpenShift.io,
Red Hat’s free, end-to-end cloud-native development environment, Red Hat
OpenShift is expanding the industry’s most robust, comprehensive, and
easy-to-use open cloud-native application development environment for
production workloads.
All of the above is also natively integrated into the full range of
OpenShift offerings, including the new release of OpenShift Online, a
managed, multi-tenant public cloud offering, as well as a managed,
single-tenant offering with OpenShift Dedicated and a customer managed
offering with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. All provide a
consistent set of developer tooling, application frameworks and services
designed to run any application for any customer of any size.
Availability
OpenShift Application Runtimes is currently available in tech preview
via launch.openshift.io and is expected to be released later this year.
