Red Hat Unveils End-to-End Cloud-Native Development Environment with Red Hat OpenShift.io
Red Hat OpenShift -based offering unifies the software development
lifecycle, streamlining modern application projects for the
digitally-transforming enterprise
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced Red Hat OpenShift.io, a free, online
development environment optimized for creating cloud-native,
container-based applications. Enterprises compete through software
innovations, so rapidly building and scaling applications is critical.
OpenShift.io enables digital transformation with an end-to-end
application development environment, requiring no installation and
addressing all development phases.
According to IDC, enterprises pursuing digital transformation will
double their software development capabilities by 20181. This
rapid expansion requires that distributed development teams produce
higher quality applications faster. In turn, these teams are frequently
seeking out modern development technologies such as Linux containers and
microservices, but can also benefit from tools and environments that
make these technologies easier to consume.
Combining the innovations of several open source projects, including
fabric8, Jenkins and Eclipse Che, Red Hat OpenShift.io delivers
application development tools and environments needed to help
organizations maintain relevancy in a digitally transforming
marketplace. Designed for development teams, whether in the same
building or across the globe, to more effectively collaborate and create
containerized, microservices-based solutions, deployed to hybrid cloud
environments. Red Hat OpenShift.io includes tools for:
- Team Collaboration
- Agile Planning
- Developer Workspace Management
- Application Coding and Testing
- Runtime Stack Analysis
- Continuous Integration and Delivery
Red Hat OpenShift.io introduces powerful, real-time stack analysis,
which helps development teams to better detect critical vulnerabilities
and uncommon usage patterns. This increases developer confidence in
their software stack selections and reduces risk while also enabling
tooling and stack recommendations based on industry best practices.
Developers will be able to use the entire platform without the need to
install anything locally, and their applications are built into Linux
containers by default.
OpenShift.io also includes a free subscription to the Red
Hat Developer Program, which offers a variety of Red Hat’s products
for development use, including the no-cost Red Hat Enterprise Linux
developer subscription, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Middleware and other
Red Hat technologies.
Red Hat OpenShift: The industry's most comprehensive enterprise
Kubernetes platform for cloud-native application development
With the addition of Red Hat OpenShift.io as well as the newly-announced Red
Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes, Red Hat delivers the most
robust, open, integrated and supported cloud-native application
development environment for production workloads. A Kubernetes-native
container application platform backed by open Linux container standards,
Red Hat OpenShift helps enterprises embrace cloud-native innovation
while retaining existing IT investments through a single, scalable and
flexible solution.
Demonstrating the reliability and scalability of Red Hat’s container
application platform, applications built with Red Hat OpenShift.io are
deployed using OpenShift Online, a managed, multi-tenant offering of Red
Hat OpenShift. Launching at Red Hat Summit 2017, the next-generation of OpenShift
Online helps developers focus on building applications instead of
assembling and managing container files. It offers quickstart templates
for “one-click development” and supports a wide range of developer
languages, frameworks, database and middleware services, as well as
Source-to-Image (S2I) for building containers without having to create
and manage dockerfiles.
Availability
OpenShift.io will be available in limited developer preview. Users are
encouraged to sign up at https://openshift.io

Harry Mower, senior director, Developer Programs Red Hat
“Regardless of what industry our customers are in, delivering new value
through software will be key to their success. These next-generation
products and services require next-generation development tools, a need
that can be costly, time-consuming and difficult to implement for
organizations that didn’t originate in the software world. Red Hat
OpenShift.io provides a solution to this challenge by delivering
necessary tools to develop, test and launch modern applications on top
of an open application development environment hosted in the cloud.”
Al Gillen, group vice president, Software Development and Open
Source, IDC
“New languages, developer services and modern application packaging
techniques that optimize for cloud native deployment all bring a unique
value to developers by maximizing performance and enabling deployment to
a variety of infrastructure choices. Further, increased abstraction that
languages and other development environments are enjoying are creating
new levels of workload portability that assist in reducing application
delivery cycle time.”
