        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

            By  Editor_wr   On  Jun 3, 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.
