Red Hat, Inc. introduced new capabilities and enhancements for Red Hat OpenShift with its version 4.16, which aims to support virtualised workloads and edge deployments.
Mike Barrett, vice president and general manager of hybrid Cloud Platforms at Red Hat, said, “Red Hat OpenShift helps customers prepare their infrastructure for the demands of AI while managing and maintaining traditional, mission-critical applications and infrastructure like virtualised environments, all from a single platform.”
Latest enhancements
The latest enhancements in Red Hat OpenShift help simplify migrating and modernising virtualised workloads. They include metro disaster recovery, which provides regional disaster recovery for virtual machines (VMs), hot-add CPU, which allows users to add additional vCPU resources to a running VM; and multi-cluster virtualisation monitoring, which enables viewing all VMs across multiple Red Hat OpenShift clusters. It can also collect and build reports faster for the VMs.
Red Hat OpenShift 4.16 also includes image-based updates (IBU) for single-node OpenShift to enhance service quality at the edge.
Further, the OpenShift-based Appliance Builder is now available as a technology preview to Red Hat partners.
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service aims to help organisations build, deploy, and maintain cloud-native applications at scale while ensuring security. The service enables organisations to start securing workloads while scaling more easily across clouds and geographies.
