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.
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
