Red Hat OpenShift for Modern Applications
Full-stack installer-provisioned OpenShift deployment for modern containerized application hosting with Day-2 ops automation.
What a customer gets out of it
- Demonstrate how to deploy and build modern applications on enterprise Kubernetes
- Learn to operate Kubernetes through Red Hat's enterprise distribution (OpenShift)
- Test migration of VM workloads from other virtualisation platforms onto OpenShift
- Evaluate storage, backup, security and other CNCF solutions inside the OpenShift ecosystem
Why it matters
A working OpenShift environment customers can drive themselves, which turns an abstract platform conversation into a hands-on evaluation. It covers the three questions that decide an enterprise Kubernetes purchase — can we build modern applications on it, can we move our existing VM estate onto it, and does the surrounding ecosystem (storage, backup, security) hold up — in one booking, on real hardware, with the customer's own use cases.
