The integration of Red Hat OpenShift within the Google Cloud console provides enhanced flexibility for workloads, offering a more seamless onboarding experience and streamlined procurement. Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated users can now natively validate Google Cloud prerequisites before transitioning to a guided cluster provisioning flow within the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. Furthermore, organizations can leverage unified billing and procurement through the Google Cloud Marketplace, utilizing flexible pay-as-you-go pricing that counts Red Hat OpenShift subscription costs against their Google Cloud committed spend. Native service integrations now allow users to unlock the power of jointly engineered supports for key services including Google Cloud Secret Manager, Certificate Authority Service, and Workload Identity Federation.
Addressing the rising costs and complexities of modern IT, the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Google Cloud C3 bare metal instances offers a bridge between legacy infrastructure and modern innovation. As a built-in capability of Red Hat OpenShift, this technology unifies traditional virtual machines with containers and serverless workloads on a consistent Kubernetes platform, providing a single interface and toolset across all environments. This allows for accelerated modernization of VM-based applications at a controlled pace, consistent management across hybrid environments, and simplified migration with minimal downtime through tools like the migration toolkit for virtualization and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Backed by Global Site Reliability Engineers and built-in automation, Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud ensures predictable performance, elastic scaling, and stronger SLAs.
According to Mike Barrett, vice president and general manager of Hybrid Cloud Platforms at Red Hat, this collaboration empowers organizations with comprehensive cloud-native capabilities to manage both traditional VMs and containerized applications on a single platform. Nirav Mehta, vice president of Product Management for Google Cloud Compute Platform, emphasized that the partnership provides a smoother path for customers to run workloads consistently on Google Cloud's secure and performant infrastructure. As the open hybrid cloud technology leader, Red Hat continues to invest in open ecosystems to solve tomorrow’s IT challenges, providing a trusted foundation for transformative innovation from the datacenter to the edge.
