Red Hat and Google Cloud have expanded their collaboration to help organizations accelerate application modernization and cloud migrations.
Red Hat OpenShift is now available within the Google Cloud console. This integration makes it easier for customers to discover and deploy the right solution for running their workloads on Google Cloud. It provides a more seamless onboarding experience with streamlined validation of prerequisites and guided cluster provisioning directly from the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
Organizations can benefit from unified billing and procurement through Google Cloud Marketplace with flexible pay-as-you-go pricing. Red Hat OpenShift subscription costs can count against Google Cloud committed spend. Users also gain access to native integrations with key Google Cloud services, including Google Cloud Secret Manager, Certificate Authority Service, and Workload Identity Federation.
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, a built-in capability of Red Hat OpenShift, bridges the gap between legacy infrastructure and modern cloud-native environments. It unifies traditional virtual machines with containers and serverless workloads on a single Kubernetes platform, providing one interface, one toolset, and consistent operational practices across all workloads. The capability is now available on Google Cloud C3 bare metal instances for performance-sensitive or licensing-constrained applications.
Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization enables organizations to accelerate modernization of VM-based applications at their own pace while maintaining predictable performance. It supports consistent management of virtual machines and containers across on-premises, cloud, and edge environments. The solution also simplifies migration from traditional virtualization with minimal downtime through tools such as the migration toolkit for virtualization and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud serves as a fully managed application platform, allowing customers to focus on building and scaling business-critical applications. Global Site Reliability Engineers and built-in automation help reduce operational overhead and improve efficiency while delivering elastic scaling and stronger service level agreements.
“Red Hat’s hybrid cloud vision is built on consistency – the ability to run any workload, anywhere, with the same operational model. This extended collaboration with Google Cloud further empowers organizations with comprehensive cloud-native capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift, whether they need to accelerate application development or streamline migration to the cloud. Together, Red Hat and Google provide a clear, unified path for organizations to modernize their entire application portfolio, helping them manage both their traditional VMs and containerized applications on a single platform.” said Mike Barrett, vice president and general manager, Hybrid Cloud Platforms, Red Hat.
“Our customers are constantly looking for ways to simplify their infrastructure and accelerate innovation without sacrificing performance. We are pleased to deepen our collaboration with Red Hat for OpenShift on Google Cloud. Customers now have a smoother path, enabling them to run both virtualized and containerized workloads consistently on Google Cloud's global, secure, and performant infrastructure.” said Nirav Mehta, vice president, Product Management - Google Cloud Compute Platform, Google Cloud.
Enterprises can now explore these capabilities directly within the Google Cloud console and begin their modernization journey with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud.
