Red Hat Releases Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes to Empower Simple, Flexible Cloud-Native Development
Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes accelerates the development
and delivery of new microservices-based apps on OpenShift forthe
new software-powered economy
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift
Application Runtimes, enabling organizations to accelerate cloud-native
app development with a curated set of frameworks and runtimes for
prescriptively building and running microservices-based applications.
At the heart of digital transformation is the opportunity for
organizations to reinvent themselves to better compete in a market
marked by new competitors, communities, technologies and business
strategies. Under these conditions, adaptability is key for survival,
and cloud-native development solutions that harness the convergence of
Linux containers, API management, service-based architectures, and
DevOps automation are ideal for helping organizations respond to
unpredictable change and outmaneuver competitors.
By providing a tightly integrated and fully supported offering for
developing microservices in multiple languages and frameworks, Red Hat
aims to balance developers' need for choice with the operational
requirement for standardization and support – both for creating new
applications and re-architecting existing ones. According to a September
2017 survey of Red Hat customers, a large majority of respondents (87
percent) indicated that they are using or considering multiple runtimes
and frameworks for developing microservices, with 44 percent citing the
preference for using the right tool for the right task.
Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes supports multiple runtimes,
languages, frameworks and architectures, with the following key features
and benefits:
- Simplified development: The offering reduces the complexity of
developing cloud-native applications by integrating OpenShift
Container Platform capabilities with multiple runtimes and frameworks,
including wizard-based setup, service discovery, external
configurations, and circuit breakers for fault tolerance.
- Strategic flexibility: Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes
supports hybrid cloud configurations, helping avoid cloud provider
lock-in. The distributed nature of cloud computing means that a “one
size fits all” approach to runtimes and frameworks is becoming less
effective for enterprise productivity. With this offering, developers
gain the flexibility to build services for hybrid and multi-cloud
application and systems using their preferred tools.
- Speed of delivery: Due to its integration with Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes
provides developers with a fully automated platform for provisioning,
building and deploying applications and their components. It
integrates with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)
tools like Git, Maven, and Jenkins. It also provides intuitive tooling
to more securely streamline Kubernetes workflows and enable
application load-balancing and auto-scaling capabilities with
policy-based control and automation.
- Service Catalog integration: Combined with the OpenShift
service catalog, enterprise IT organizations can take full advantage
of multi-cloud investments by integrating cloud-based services, for
example those provided by the OpenShift and AWS service integration,
and capabilities developed in-house on Red Hat OpenShift Application
Runtimes and provide portability and consistency of stateful and
stateless, microservices-based applications across IT footprints.
Certified and supported runtimes available with Red Hat OpenShift
Application Runtimes include Java
EE, WildFly
Swarm, Eclipse
MicroProfile, Eclipse
Vert.x, Node.js,
and Spring
Boot.

Mike Piech, vice president and general manager, Middleware, Red Hat
“The
new world of cloud-native, containerized, microservices-based
architecture empowers enterprises to innovate in a more rapid and
flexible way than ever before. But doing so at scale with performance,
reliability, and improved security requires the muscle of
enterprise-grade runtimes. Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes
manifests Red Hat’s decade-plus of experience with Red Hat JBoss
Middleware in this new runtime offering built from the ground up for the
next generation of microservices-based application development.”
Joe Dickman, senior vice president, Vizuri
“Organizations
that are investing time and resources in cloud-native architectures must
look at leveraging containerized workloads to provide a robust, flexible
and reliable infrastructure that can respond quickly to changing
customer needs. Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes establishes a
foundation for building services for hybrid and multi-cloud applications
and systems in a programmable way that provision and decommission
infrastructure and application resources in a myriad of environments
using their preferred tools.”
Al Gillen, group vice president, Software Development and Open
Source, IDC
“Enterprises that invest in DevOps, microservices,
cloud services, and modern application development can see multiple
benefits including business-focused innovation, improved competitive
differentiation, and responsiveness to unexpected user and business
requirements. Forward-looking CIOs and CEOs that have embraced agile and
DevOps operational models have seen paybacks including more frequent
application deployments, higher-quality code, agility in delivering and
evolving user-centric features, and a greater ability to innovate with
new products and features.”
