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
