Red Hat announced a new container-native storage solution designed to extend the portability of containerized applications across the hybrid cloud.
The new solution offers software-defined storage for stateful applications using Red Hat Gluster Storage with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
With the new offering, Red Hat is expanding the availability of its Gluster Storage for OpenShift Container Platform in AWS environments.
Gluster Storage is software-defined storage integrated with and optimized for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
Red Hat further announced the introduction of a free, online development environment optimized for creating cloud-native, container-based application, the OpenShift.io.
OpenShift.io enables organisations’ digital transformation with an end-to-end application development environment, requiring no installation and addressing all development phases.
Another announcement from the company unveiled a new offering, OpenShift Application Runtimes, designed to accelerate cloud-native application development with pre-built, containerized runtime foundations for polyglot microservices.
Optimized for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, OpenShift Application Runtimes provide more secure, productive, high-performance foundations for microservices design.
These features help to move modern, composite applications from concept to delivery faster and more easily along a prescriptive development path.
Red Hat also introduced Container Health Index, to set a new standard for enterprise-grade Linux containers.
Based upon the company’s track record of delivering enterprise-grade open source technologies, including the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform, the Container Health Index provides the most comprehensive image detail of any enterprise container service.
