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, organizations can start securing workloads
within minutes while scaling more easily across clouds and geographies without the additional overhead or
complexities.

“Being able to more quickly modernize both infrastructure and applications are crucial capabilities to better

support customer needs — but this can’t be done overnight. As organizations make technology decisions in
support of their AI strategies, both for today and tomorrow, they need platforms that set them up for future
success while also balancing the demands of their legacy applications and environments. With Red Hat

OpenShift 4.16, organizations can focus on both incremental improvements and modernization. Red Hat
