(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift helps organizations more easily migrate to a modern
infrastructure

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.
