It offers an enterprise-ready container platform based on Kubernetes 1.6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the integrated docker container runtime. By combining these open source technologies, Red Hat helps customers to more quickly roll out new services with the support of a stable, reliable and more secure enterprise container solution powered by the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform.
“Cloud-native applications are not immune from the ‘mundane’ needs of traditional applications, including greater security and compliance, and face an additional challenge in providing a consistent developer experience across cloud footprints. The latest version of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform adds new tools and resources to help meet security and compliance needs, including network controls for detailed control of networked resources, along with the emerging capability to deliver services across cloud offerings consistently,” said Ashesh Badani, vice president and general manager, OpenShift, Red Hat.
Modern, cloud-native applications require the same level and sensitivity to security as traditional applications, regardless of the broader innovation that they present. To help enterprises drive more secure operations at both the container and the host operating system level, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.6 introduces several new and enhanced features designed to further extend enterprise security and compliance procedures.
The enterprise mix of public and private cloud services and physical resources is not static, as it evolves frequently to meet business need and new customer demands. Running cloud-native applications across these footprints requires consistency – these applications are built from services, which must be accessible across a wide variety of platforms.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.6 is available now via the Red Hat Customer Portal.
