10/30/25, 11:48 AM Red Hat Announces Support for Red Hat OpenShift on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs
Advanced cloud networking: Red Hat OpenShift, with distributed routing capabilities powered by
BlueField, helps improve secure multi-tenancy, network scalability, performance and traffic efficiency
across clusters while streamlining network operations.

Improved security posture: Red Hat OpenShift offloads infrastructure tasks to BlueField which helps
reduce the attack surface for applications with a layered approach to security, effectively improving

security posture.

Support for NVIDIA BlueField on Red Hat OpenShift will be available as a technical preview in the
coming weeks. Red Hat will continue to collaborate with NVIDIA to integrate additional support

capabilities for the NVIDIA DOCA software framework and third party network functions for NVIDIA
BlueField on Red Hat OpenShift.

Looking ahead, NVIDIA BlueField-4 will further extend these capabilities with next-generation
acceleration, deeper DOCA integration, and enhanced performance to power the next wave of cloud-native
AI factories. Red Hat is also working with NVIDIA to support Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, enabling

seamless, high-performance connectivity for AI workloads across distributed cloud environments.
