Red Hat Brings Its Managed OpenShift Kubernetes Service to AWS The software company has been adding more and more flavors of managed OpenShift, as managed services grow in importance for its business.
AWS s Elastic Kubernetes Service now has a competitor on the AWS platform. During last week s Red Hat Summit, IBM-owned Red Hat announced the launch of its managed OpenShift service on AWS. According to Red Hat, it s the first natively integrated third-party managed Kubernetes service on Amazon s cloud platform.
The service, called ROSA (Red Hat OpenShift on AWS), had a soft launch about a month ago, but was officially unveiled during the summit. Similar managed OpenShift services have been available on Microsoft Azure and IBM Cloud.
A tertiary OpenShift tier comes alongside three apps for businesses to build on their Kubernetes-based hybrid cloud strategy
Red Hat has launched an advanced tier of its OpenShift container application platform, with added tools designed to offer a complete Kubernetes stack out-of-the-box. This is in addition to launching three new managed cloud services.
Red Hat’s OpenShift Kubernetes Engine is the foundational layer of OpenShift, allowing customers to run containers across hybrid cloud deployments on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) OS. The OpenShift Container Platform adds developer and operations services, as well as advanced features for app development and modernisation.
