Red Hat Openshift Update Simplifies Network Edge Deployments
Cloud Native Now, Tuesday, July 16th, 2024
Red Hat today made generally available an update to its OpenShift platform that includes a technology preview of an Appliance Builder that makes it simpler to install clusters at the network edge, using a tool that leverages an image update capability, that Red Hat has added to enable IT teams to construct clusters in a pre-production environment.
In addition, Red Hat is launching Red Hat Device Edge, a platform that combines Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ansible Automation Platform, and an instance of MicroShift, a lightweight instance of Kubernetes that Red Hat previously developed that now includes an agent to automate installation using a GitOps workflow.
At the same time, Red Hat is making generally available Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service, a fully managed Kubernetes service via which Red Hat will manage multiple distributions of Kubernetes, including Red Hat OpenShift, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
