Red Hat and GitHub announced extended collaboration between the two companies, emphasizing Red Hat OpenShift through GitHub Actions and more. Red Hat is adding Red Hat GitHub Actions to the GitHub Marketplace, bringing GitHub’s DevOps, continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD) and developer workflow automation tools to Red Hat OpenShift. This further refines the application development capabilities of the world’s leading enterprise Kubernetes platform with GitHub Actions, adding greater freedom to how developers can build and deploy applications on Red Hat OpenShift across the open hybrid cloud.
Red Hat OpenShift now supports GitHub Actions, enabling organizations to standardize and scale their use of open, standardized developer toolchain components like Quay, Buildah, or Source-to-Image (s2i). This helps to meet developers where they are and provides greater choice and flexibility to OpenShift customers in how they build and deploy applications. The new GitHub Actions for Red Hat OpenShift, along with existing actions on GitHub Marketplace and action workflows, make it possible to achieve simple as well as complex application workflows on Red Hat’s enterprise Kubernetes platform using an extensive array of standards-based tools.
As part of the collaboration, GitHub has also joined OpenShift Commons, a community that helps drive connections and collaboration across the OpenShift ecosystem. Beyond Actions and GitHub Marketplace, Red Hat and GitHub are also exploring self-hosted GitHub runners for OpenShift.
The addition of GitHub Actions builds on Red Hat OpenShift’s robust developer experience, which includes OpenShift GitOps (based on ArgoCD) and OpenShift Pipelines (based on Tekton). OpenShift is now able to provide a complete solution for DevOps and GitOps practitioners as they seek to build, deploy, and maintain cloud-native applications.
Availability
GitHub Actions on Red Hat OpenShift are available now via GitHub Marketplace.
