Red Hat Powers Modern Virtualization on Microsoft Azure

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift helps organizations more
easily migrate to a modern infrastructure

June 03, 2025 — Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, announced the public
preview of Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift. Available as a
self-managed operator included in Azure Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization offers
organizations an accelerated path to modernization by streamlining the migration of virtual machines
(VMs) from existing virtualization platforms to a scalable, cloud-native platform.

Azure Red Hat OpenShift is a turnkey application platform that is jointly managed and supported by
Red Hat and Microsoft, designed to help to reduce the complexities associated with managing the
underlying infrastructure and empower IT teams to focus time and resources on innovation and
modernization rather than routine maintenance. With Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red
Hat OpenShift, organizations benefit from a more consistent hybrid cloud stack that can support VMs
and containers alike to help significantly streamline application modernization and accelerate cloud-
native strategies. This enables organizations to more effectively modernize existing critical VM
infrastructure while continuing to evolve with new innovations that meet future business needs.

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat OpenShift empowers organizations to:

Accelerate VM migration: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat
OpenShift helps organizations quickly migrate and scale existing VM workloads with
built-in migration tooling and automation capabilities, such as those through Red Hat
Ansible Automation Platform and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management, to simplify
the migration process, minimize disruption and enable teams to quickly shift to modern
infrastructure.
Simplify operations: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat OpenShift
provides a unified view of operations to more seamlessly manage both VMs and
containers on the same platform across the hybrid cloud. Automated deployment and
management of Red Hat OpenShift clusters further reduces complexity and risk.
Modernize infrastructure: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat
OpenShift allows customers to build, modernize and deploy applications at scale. By
adopting this Kubernetes-based platform, organizations instantly land on modern
infrastructure that brings them two steps closer to their cloud-native application
modernization goals. Azure Red Hat OpenShift brings modern application development
processes and tools to VMs that help expedite the modernization of VM-based
applications.
Optimize resources: In addition to increasing DevOps productivity and decreasing the
time to deploy applications with Azure Red Hat Openshift, further optimization can be
realized with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization by right-sizing VMs to better match
workload needs.

Built on the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes and Microsoft
Azure’s trusted cloud infrastructure, Azure Red Hat OpenShift delivers a future-ready platform with
integrated security tooling, automation and management capabilities to extend innovation across the
hybrid cloud.

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is now available in public preview as a self-managed operator on
Azure Red Hat OpenShift. Organizations can also apply their Microsoft Azure Consumption
Commitment (MACC) and utilize the Azure Migration and Modernization Program (AMMP) for Azure
Red Hat OpenShift. Additionally, customers can use the Azure Hybrid Benefit to reuse existing on-
premise licenses for both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows Licenses.
