Red Hat Introduces Enhancements For Red Hat OpenShift
BY: DEEPAK SINGH ON: JULY 23, 2024 IN: NEWS

Red Hat has introduced new capabilities and enhancements for Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud
application platform powered by Kubernetes, as well as the general availability of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud
Service. The new features, delivered with the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift 4.16, are designed to
help organizations more easily develop, connect and enhance the security of diverse workloads for a more consistent
experience across applications and environments.
Delivering better experiences and driving customer satisfaction are at the center of most organization’s IT goals. To do so, they
frequently look to intelligent apps, including both AI-enabled applications and edge applications, that allow for insights to be
delivered more quickly wherever they are needed. The technology decisions made today around these applications and more
are often in support of setting organizations up for an AI and edge-focused future. However, it’s not as simple as purely
adopting the latest AI technology, as those systems and platforms also need to run in harmony with critical traditional
applications and infrastructure like virtualized environments.

The latest enhancements to Red Hat OpenShift are designed to help organizations connect their disparate, diverse workloads
and create a more consistent management and deployment experience, wherever an application lives across the hybrid cloud
and regardless of whether the application is a traditional workhorse or built to harness AI innovation.
A modern option for virtualization

As the virtualization landscape continues to evolve, many organizations are looking to migrate existing virtualized workloads to
a platform that can run virtual machines (VMs) side-by-side with modern containerized applications and serverless functions
with the ability to modernize those VM-based applications when needed. Red Hat is now offering directly and through its
partners a Virtualization Migration Assessment that will take organizations through a risk assessment methodology to help
determine the best path forward for migration away from a legacy virtualization solution.

The latest enhancements in Red Hat OpenShift for virtualization use cases help further simplify migrating and modernizing
virtualized workloads. New features include:

Metro disaster recovery provides regional disaster recovery for virtual machines (VMs) that use storage deployed on Red
Hat OpenShift Data Foundation in conjunction with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes for
management.
Hot-add CPU provides users the ability to add additional vCPU resources to a running VM in a declarative manner for
improved memory density with safe memory overcommit, and enables users to more easily scale up VMs with CPU hotplug.
