OpenShift Enterprise 3.1 and Red Hat Atomic
Enterprise Platform provide a comprehensive, modular solution for
developing, delivering and managing container-based applications
across the open hybrid cloud
KUBECON--Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading
provider of open source solutions, today unveiled key enhancements
to its comprehensive portfolio for developing and deploying
enterprise-ready applications using Linux containers, OpenShift and
Atomic. As more enterprises look to adopt container-based
architectures for application workloads, Red Hat’s enhanced
offerings enable the use of Docker-formatted Linux containers to
create microservices-based applications and modernize traditional
workloads - all benefiting from security features of a consistent
foundation based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Red Hat’s updated offerings are:
- OpenShift Enterprise 3.1, the
latest version of Red Hat’s application platform designed to build,
deploy and run stateful and stateless applications on private and
public cloud infrastructure.
- Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform
Public Preview, an optimized container infrastructure platform
for deploying, running and managing containers across the
enterprise.
Together, they provide a comprehensive platform for running
traditional and container-based applications. This means that
customers do not need to re-architect applications to run on Red
Hat technologies, and enables enterprises to develop, integrate,
deploy, and manage a variety of applications consistently across a
more secure, container-optimized infrastructure.
OpenShift Enterprise 3.1
OpenShift by Red Hat is the industry's only enterprise-ready,
web-scale container application platform based on Docker format
Linux containers, Kubernetes orchestration, and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7. This newest release updates the Docker and Kubernetes
experience for developers, adds middleware services for OpenShift,
and expands OpenStack integration. These enhancements and new
features deliver a next-generation platform that provides
developers with flexibility and choice and IT operations teams with
actionable insight and more streamlined management, supporting
traditional stateful applications and newer cloud native stateless
applications.
New and enhanced capabilities within OpenShift Enterprise 3.1
include:
- Application lifecycle management for
containers including new and updated self-service tools for
developing applications from Web, command line or IDE interfaces,
application build automation enhancements, Jenkins CI integration
and automated deployment capabilities to manage applications from
development to production.
- An enterprise-grade container
infrastructure (also available separately in public preview as
Atomic Enterprise Platform) which uses the latest, stable Docker
container format standard and the Kubernetes orchestration engine,
providing a reliable environment for developing container-based
applications.
- Access to new Red Hat JBoss
Middleware services that easily integrate within a container
architecture, including Red Hat JBoss Fuse, Red Hat JBoss BRMS, and
Red Hat JBoss Data Grid. These offerings help developers to build
and integrate faster and adaptable applications with familiar,
supported open source tools with significantly less “ramp-up” time
and a unified experience across hybrid architectures.
- Advanced management capabilities
(provided by Red Hat CloudForms) around containers, projects and
users with an ability to extend across traditional VM based
infrastructure and private and public clouds.
- Enhanced user experience and web
console with better application controls and activity
visualization; logging and metrics capabilities.
Atomic Enterprise Platform Public Preview
To encourage early customer and partner adoption of container
technology and foster community participation, Red Hat is also
making its container infrastructure capabilities available through
Atomic Enterprise Platform as a freely accessible public preview.
The platform is powered by a scale-out cluster of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, Red Hat’s minimal footprint,
container-optimized operating system, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
instances, forming the enterprise-class foundation for delivering
both cloud-native and traditional applications with containers.
Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform includes:
- Runtime and packaging format
powered by Docker and the Open Container Initiative (OCI)
format.
- Orchestration and cluster
services, built on Kubernetes, for complex multi-container
services and scheduling across a host cluster.
- Networking and storage plug-ins:
scalable, multi-host container networking, powered by Open vSwitch,
and persistent storage plugins to enable running of stateful
services in containers.
- Registry services for more
secure storage and management of shared container images
- Container standards and security
highlighted by Red Hat’s expanded certified container ecosystem,
which aims to help fully realize a comprehensive, more secure model
for containerized application delivery.
In addition, the integration of Red Hat Gluster Storage and Red
Hat Ceph Storage with OpenShift Enterprise 3.1 and Red Hat Atomic
Enterprise Platform Public Preview is now fully supported by Red
Hat, with the goal to provide seamless, elastic storage for
applications or microservices running in containers. Through a
number of Kubernetes volume plugins, Red Hat gives IT organizations
significantly more granular control and flexibility in choice for
the best storage protocol for use with stateful container-based
applications.
Availability
OpenShift Enterprise 3.1 is scheduled to be generally available
at the end of November, coinciding with the availability of Red Hat
Atomic Enterprise Platform Public Preview.
Supporting Quote
Ashesh Badani, vice president and general manager, OpenShift,
Red Hat
“The possibilities posed by Linux containers, particularly at
scale, have the potential to reinvent the entire landscape of
enterprise IT, from how we build and consume applications to how we
distribute and deliver resources and services. OpenShift Enterprise
3.1 and Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform, help to bring these
innovations to enterprise deployment, providing a more secure,
stable and flexible infrastructure as well as a powerful services
layer for organizations to build, deploy, manage and support the
new wave of containerized applications.”
Jay Lyman, senior analyst, Enterprise Software, 451Research
"As more enterprises continue to show interest in developing
container-based workloads, these new iterations of Red Hat's
application platform and container offerings offer a comprehensive
pairing of integrated solutions.”
