7/23/24, 2:17 PM Red Hat simplifies workload diversity across the hybrid cloud with latest version of Red Hat OpenShift
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.
Multi-cluster virtualization monitoring with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management enables users

to view all VMs across multiple Red Hat OpenShift clusters as well as collect and more quickly
build reports for the VMs.

Improving the customer experience at the edge

Minimizing service downtime is paramount to delivering a quality experience for customers and is
particularly important for those applications at the edge. To enhance service quality at the edge, Red Hat
OpenShift 4.16, introduces a “shift left” approach with image-based updates (IBU) for single node

OpenShift. Single node OpenShift users can now shift a large portion of the update process to a pre-
production environment, which reduces the time spent updating at the production site. Additionally, if an
update fails or the application doesn’t return to a functioning state, it can be rolled back to the pre-update

state. This helps to restore service as quickly as possible, regardless of whether the update is successful
or not.

Additionally, the OpenShift-based Appliance Builder is now available as a technology preview to Red Hat
partners seeking to build turnkey, customized appliances with self-contained Red Hat OpenShift
instances. The OpenShift-based Appliance Builder is a container-based utility that builds a disk image

that includes the Agent-based Installer, which is used to install multiple Red Hat OpenShift clusters. This
makes it easier to install Red Hat OpenShift at remote edge sites at scale, as it can be done with limited
or no connectivity and without the need for an external registry.

Scaling workload security across the hybrid cloud

According to Red Hat’s 2024 State of Kubernetes Security Report, security issues continue to impact

business outcomes, with 67% of respondents indicating that their companies delayed or slowed
application development as a result of rising concerns. Additionally, the complexity of container-based
Kubernetes environments is also a factor that some organizations still struggle with.

Helping organizations take a security-forward approach to building, deploying and maintaining cloud-
native applications at scale, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service is now generally

available. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service is a fully managed Kubernetes-native
security cloud service that supports both Red Hat OpenShift as well as non-Red Hat Kubernetes
platforms, including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and

Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). With Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service,
