virtualization in the public cloud, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is now available on Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure as a technology preview.
Simplified operations for security
Red Hat OpenShift 4.18 introduces new security features designed to help drive more resilient operations
while decreasing potential risks. Secret store container storage interface (CSI) driver is now generally
available and provides users with a vendor-agnostic solution for managing credentials and sensitive
information for applications. Workloads on Red Hat OpenShift can access external secrets managers without
storing secrets on the cluster, enhancing overall security hygiene and simplifying credential management.
This allows for clusters to remain unaware of secrets, thereby further reducing risk. Additionally, Secret Store
CSI Driver enhances complementary solutions, such as OpenShift GitOps and OpenShift Pipelines, by
enabling them to consume secrets from an external secrets manager in a more secure way.
Availability
Red Hat OpenShift 4.18 is now generally available. More information, including how to upgrade to the latest
version, is available here.
