Red Hat Powers Modern Virtualization on Microsoft Azure

By PR News Desk 03/06/2025

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

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
