What is Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud?
Red Hat® OpenShift® on IBM Cloud™ is a comprehensive service that offers fully managed OpenShift clusters on the highly scalable and reliable IBM Cloud platform. It is directly integrated into the same Kubernetes service that maintains 25 billion on-demand forecasts daily at The Weather Company®. Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud leverages IBM Cloud, so you can focus on developing and managing your applications. IBM handles the infrastructure, providing you with a highly-available, fully managed OpenShift cluster with the click of a button.
Build and deploy OpenShift workloads with the power and scale of IBM Cloud
A powerful managed Kubernetes service
All of IBM Cloud — including IBM Watson® and IBM Blockchain Platform — runs on Kubernetes, enabling massive scale and workload diversity. Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is directly integrated into the same Kubernetes service that manages more than 14,000 production clusters service-wide, and maintains a daily service volume of 30 million normal page views and 100 million extreme weather views at The Weather Company.
Managed capabilities across the full lifecycle
IBM Cloud builds on an open-source foundation for advanced capabilities to ease the pain of security, scale, and full stack management — from build, through operations, and across the lifecycle of the software.
Fast and low-risk migration
Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud offers features that are ready for immediate use, including compliance support, container-level security with strong isolation choices and key management, and the same cryptographic technology that is used by banks and financial institutions.
Metered billing, with no long-term commitment
Start fast and small — with hourly metered billing for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and monthly billing for OpenShift Container Platform. IBM will manage the master node at no charge. There is no commitment to any term license.
High availability for workloads and data
Build and operate OpenShift workloads in hybrid environments, enabled by a global footprint of six multi-zone regions.
Containers, functions and apps in a single management platform
OpenShift is now deeply integrated into IBM Cloud, a unified platform in which tooling for Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, and functions is explicitly designed to integrate smoothly. Protect your existing investment, while you provide new skills opportunities for your team.
