Red Hat Introduces Next Generation of OpenShift Online Public Cloud Offering
Industry’s first open source, cloud-native, multi-tenant container
platform accelerates path to production for application developers
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today introduced the next generation of Red Hat OpenShift
Online, the industry’s first open source, container-native, multi-tenant
cloud platform. Based on the same Linux container- and Kubernetes-based
foundation as the award-winning Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform,
Red Hat OpenShift Online gives developers the ability to more quickly
and easily build, deploy and scale cloud-native applications in a public
cloud environment.
Since OpenShift Online’s launch in 2011 it has hosted more than three
million applications built by hundreds of thousands of individual
developers, startups, educational institutions, ISVs and enterprise
organizations around the world, making it one of the industry’s most
popular developer platforms to build any app, anywhere, at any scale on
the public cloud.
OpenShift Online enables developers to build cloud-native apps on a
cloud-based container platform without having to worry about the
inherent complexity of provisioning, managing and scaling applications
as demands change. With operations and management provided by Red Hat in
the public cloud, developers can focus on writing the code for their
business, prototyping new features, or working on their next big
idea--all in a self-service environment.
OpenShift is a polyglot platform that supports multiple languages,
including Java, Node.js, .NET, Ruby, Python, PHP and
more. It offers optimized workflows to help configure and deploy
applications on any given framework, such as Spring Boot, Eclipse
Vert.x, Node.js and Red Hat JBoss Middleware, helping developers start
their project easier and start coding faster.
Red Hat OpenShift Online delivers a world-class developer experience
with new capabilities, including:
- Simplified deployment – New one-click and “Git push” command
deployment capabilities have been added to help streamline application
provisioning and deployment for developers and sysadmins that do not
need full control over the deployment lifecycle.
- Automatic scaling – Cloud elasticity is enabled through
automatic application scaling, which helps eliminate the need for
manual intervention from Operations when an increase in application
load requires more application instances.
- S2I builds – Using the source-to-image (S2I) framework to build
reproducible container images. This helps eliminate the need for
developers to understand docker, or create and manage docker images,
reducing errors and enabling them to focus on writing their
applications in the language of their choice.
- IDE integration – The platform features built-in integration
with popular integrated development environments (IDEs), including
Eclipse, Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio, and Titanium Studio, enabling
developers to stay within the IDE they are most comfortable with when
working with OpenShift.
- Middleware services – Red
Hat OpenShift Application Services provide the powerful
capabilities of products in the Red Hat JBoss Middleware portfolio as
cloud-based services on OpenShift. These services can be used by
developers to build applications, integrate with other systems,
orchestrate using rules and processes, and then deploy across hybrid
environments.

-
Starter: A free service that includes 1GB of memory and 1GB storage

“Application
agility and, more broadly, digital transformation has become not just a
goal, but a necessary change for many enterprises across the world
thanks in no small part to rapidly changing customer needs and
competitive demands. Linux containers and cloud-native applications are
helping to fuel these transformations. Red Hat OpenShift Online enables
organizations to accelerate the path to production for their
container-based applications by giving developers the ability to quickly
begin new development projects and easily bring them into production in
the enterprise.”
Al Gillen, group vice president, Software Development and Open
Source, IDC
“Cloud-native application development is the key to
unlocking digital transformation. Red Hat OpenShift's support for Docker
and Kubernetes, in conjunction with its ability to support polyglot
languages, databases and application development frameworks, promises to
empower organizations to develop applications marked by the relative
absence of vendor lock-in and indigenous portability across
infrastructures.”
Gabriele Columbro, executive director, Symphony Software Foundation
“Red
Hat’s OpenShift team and Red Hat OpenShift Online have enabled us to
create an iterative building model with our CI/CD pipeline. We have
successfully used OpenShift Online from its early versions and look
forward to continue using the Pro tier that provides us more resources
and collaboration features. We have integrated OpenShift into our tool
chain and reference architecture, so that members of our foundation can
leverage the same tools we leverage in the foundation.”
