Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus

Organizations need to deliver innovative applications to fuel growth and success, but they are challenged with the balance of growing the business to keep pace with rising customer expectations while optimizing costs and resources. As organizations expand their initial investments in Kubernetes and containers—beyond 1 or 2 clusters—and shift the entire software development process to the new platform, they need to rethink how to manage and protect the environment.

Red Hat® OpenShift® Platform Plus, as part of the Red Hat OpenShift portfolio, provides a single, hybrid cloud platform for enterprises to build, deploy, run, manage, automate, and safeguard intelligent applications at scale. Building on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, a solution trusted by global, industry-leading companies, OpenShift Platform Plus delivers an enterprise Kubernetes system for migrating existing workloads to the cloud, building new digital user experiences, or deploying applications to edge locations. 

With OpenShift Platform Plus, business leaders can deliver exceptional experiences without compromising quality or security. Development teams can build with speed, agility, confidence, and a choice of languages and frameworks. IT operations and security teams can support every application across infrastructures and clouds, with comprehensive security and cluster data management services following a DevSecOps approach that enhances developer productivity while minimizing risk. OpenShift Platform Plus changes how organizations undertake digital transformation journeys by helping customers deliver applications with increased speed, grow their business, and stay competitive. 

OpenShift Platform Plus is deployed and managed by enterprise IT operations teams. The full portfolio includes several integrated technology solutions.

• Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is a complete set of services that helps developers code applications with speed while providing flexibility and efficiency for IT operations teams. It includes multiple advanced open source capabilities that are tested and integrated with the underlying certified Kubernetes environment, such as Red Hat OpenShift Serverless, Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines, and Red Hat OpenShift GitOps.
• Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes provides Kubernetes-native security to enhance infrastructure and workload security through the entire application lifecycle across clusters whether they are running in a datacenter, in a cloud environment, or at edge locations.
• Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes provides end-to-end management visibility and control of your cluster and application lifecycle, along with improved security and compliance of your entire multicluster Kubernetes domain across multiple datacenters and public clouds.
• Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Essentials offers a cluster data management services layer that provides data efficiency, resilience, and added security for Red Hat OpenShift environments.
• Red Hat Quay is a security-enhanced private registry platform for managing content across global datacenter and cloud environments, focusing on cloud-native and DevSecOps development models and environments.
• Red Hat OpenShift Lightspeed is a generative AI-based virtual assistant integrated directly within the OpenShift console. It increases platform and application owner efficiency by quickly giving immediate, context-aware answers and guidance on OpenShift-related tasks.

• Consistent user experience, management, and safety across hybrid infrastructure: Provides a consistent and uniform interface for administrators and developers, regardless of underlying infrastructure specifics—on-premise, in cloud environments, or at edge locations. As a result, teams can focus on innovation and deploy applications across mixed infrastructures more efficiently.
• Comprehensive tools for cloud-native application development: Includes the components you need to build, deploy, run, and safeguard your applications, or you can continue to use your existing tools integrated with Red Hat OpenShift.
• Built-in security across the entire application lifecycle: Extends the existing robust focus on security and compliance capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift with additional tools and capabilities for organizations that have unique, complex security requirements that vary across applications, including zero trust workload identity manager, a single, Universal Identity Framework (UIF) for your workloads across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments.
• End-to-end management and observability: Applies consistent operational policies for improved security, configuration, compliance, and governance of Kubernetes clusters across on-premise and cloud infrastructures. Red Hat OpenShift GitOps includes the Argo CD Agent, which consolidates information from various systems into a single view to centralize application delivery and GitOps oversight. 

Red Hat OpenShift is the leading enterprise Kubernetes platform, trusted by organizations across industries and the globe for application innovation. 

• Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine delivers the foundational, security-focused capabilities of enterprise Kubernetes on Red Hat Enterprise Linux® CoreOS to run containers in hybrid cloud environments.
• Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform adds a full set of operations and developer services and tools, including OpenShift Serverless, OpenShift Service Mesh, and OpenShift Pipelines. It has everything teams need to get started on building new cloud-native applications or migrating existing applications to containers.
• Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus builds on OpenShift Container Platform and includes advanced multicluster security and extended management capabilities for organizations looking to build cloud-native applications at scale.
