6/4/25, 3:07 PM Red Hat Powers Modern Virtualization on Microsoft Azure - Middle East News 247
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.

Chris Wright, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Red Hat

“As organizations continue to modernize and move away from legacy virtualization solutions, it is critical to choose a secure
computing foundation for the future that can adapt to their current and evolving multi-infrastructure environments. Building upon our
extensive history of collaboration and joint engineering efforts with Microsoft Azure, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization running on
Azure Red Hat OpenShift delivers more consistent orchestration for VMs and containers alike, setting organizations on a clear path
to modern application development and deployment.”

Brendan Burns, corporate vice president, Azure Compute, Microsoft

“As customers modernize and move their apps from traditional virtual-machine-based fabrics that are on-premises to modern
Kubernetes platforms, some components still need to run on traditional virtual machines for a while. To address this, Microsoft and
Red Hat are collaborating to bring open-source innovation from the KubeVirt project into Azure Red Hat OpenShift. What I’m most
excited about is how this enables customers to add virtualization capabilities to Azure Red Hat OpenShift, which allows them to
modernize at their own pace, and get the best return on investment as they transition to the cloud.”
