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
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.
