Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization may seem like a paradigm shift for some, but it's an essential part of transforming and consolidating your platforms into a modern, unified tech stack that helps match your company's skills and applications with its larger goals. This shift can cause some uncertainty, however, so let's take a closer look at this concept.
Red Hat OpenShift is the premier application development platform that runs anywhere Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) will run. Whether you seek to deploy the platform and applications on-premise or across various hyperscalers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and IBM Cloud, OpenShift Virtualization can accommodate your IT requirements. Since OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization can run anywhere RHEL runs, you have the option to either install OpenShift on bare metal or add a bare metal worker node to OpenShift.
In this diagram you can see how all virtualization components are integrated into the base OpenShift cluster. You can also see how this unites containers and virtual machines (VMs) into one comprehensive platform.
Why is this significant?
As we all know, IT costs are in constant motion, as companies are either looking to reduce costs to operate more efficiently or to migrate to the latest modern technology in hopes of improving productivity across the organization. OpenShift Virtualization can help achieve those goals.
First, the virtual machine density that you can run within the platform is much higher than traditional infrastructure. This is mainly due to migrating virtual machines into a containerized workload, which also eliminates the memory and CPU overhead of the virtual machine’s original operating system. Additionally, OpenShift provides a load balancer to help shift traffic between the old virtual machine and a new containerized version of the application, which can further help reduce operational costs.
Secondly, managing one platform of virtual machines and containerized workloads creates savings from the consolidation efforts.
Lastly, every current RHEL subscription will run free of charge under OpenShift Virtualization, enabling organizations to realize additional cost savings.
In theory, this may seem straightforward, but if you're still uncertain, Red Hat Services can assist you on your journey towards using one consistent and unified platform.
