3/4/25, 11:06 AM Red Hat Enhances Security and Virtualisation Experience
grouping, also available as a technology preview, users have a quicker and easier way to navigate between VMs using a single
click.

Red Hat OpenShift 4.18 also enhances user-defined networks with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which improves segmentation
and supports advanced use cases like VM static IP assignment, live migration and stronger multi-tenancy.

Red Hat OpenShift 4.18 expands support to additional public cloud providers, providing users with increased flexibility for how and
where they choose to run their workloads. Red Hat OpenShift now supports bare-metal deployments on Google Cloud and Oracle
Cloud Infrastructure. Additionally, for users looking for virtualization in the public cloud, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is now
available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a technology preview.

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.
