Virtual machines remain a crucial part of many IT environments due to the long-term and substantial investments made by companies. Experts from IBM Consulting and AWS share how running VMs on top of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on AWS offers several benefits, including integrated management, migration and modernization, and improving developer productivity. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is an enterprise-grade feature that makes it easy to deploy and manage VMs on OpenShift.

Customers have different reasons to run multiple Red Hat OpenShift clusters, including having separate clusters per geographical locations, setting a cluster-level boundary between mission-critical applications, data residency, and reducing latency for end users. This post explores Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes and how it extends the value of Red Hat OpenShift for hybrid environments. It also explores different scenarios where having a multi-cluster environment is beneficial.

One of the offerings to help joint AWS and Red Hat customers build for an open hybrid cloud future is Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA), a fully managed OpenShift service, jointly supported by both Red Hat and AWS. In this post, we focus on a single but common use case often observed in the field where a joint enterprise customer has made investments in the AWS Cloud and is now considering expanding and adopting ROSA service as part of the AWS portfolio.
