What is Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud?

Red Hat® OpenShift® on IBM Cloud™ is a fully managed OpenShift service that leverages the enterprise scale and security of IBM Cloud, so you can focus on developing and managing your applications. It’s directly integrated into the same Kubernetes service that maintains 25 billion on-demand forecasts daily at The Weather Company®.

With a fully managed OpenShift service, you can:

Enjoy dashboards with a native OpenShift experience, and push-button integrations with high-value IBM and Red Hat middleware and advanced services.
Rely on continuous availability with multizone clusters across six regions globally.
Move workloads and data more securely with Bring Your Own Key; Level 4 FIPS; and built-in industry compliance including PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC1 and SOC2.
Start fast and small using one-click provisioning and metered billing, with no long-term commitment.
