Application Platforms

Technology to help accelerate the adoption of the cloud

Application platforms, such as the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and the VMware Tanzu Application Service, help accelerate the adoption of cloud native principles which will accelerate application deployment, enable faster application iteration and provide a unified experience. These platforms simplify the deploying of application code, automating software release processes, and monitoring your application and infrastructure performance. Additionally, application platforms provide you with an out of the box cloud native experience across multiple environments. Leveraging these technologies, you can extend your applications into the cloud without significantly changing your existing application code base or development procedures and avoid costly refactoring processes.

Use Cases

Hybrid Architecture

Seamlessly build, deploy, and manage applications across on-premises and cloud environments. Benefit from the scalability, high availability and agility that has made cloud native businesses a success with minimal effort.

Accelerated Development

Gain agility by enabling developers to self-serve in a way that provides functional parity between development and production environments. Iterate quickly to give your customers what they want.

Unified Experience

Provide a unified experience across every deployment environment. Allow developers and engineers to deploy applications across multiple environments, both on-prem and in the cloud with confidence.

Benefits

Faster Time to Market

Let AWS take care of undifferentiated heavy lifting. Allow developers to focus on building differentiated products instead of managing commodity application components.

Automation

Application platforms automate application builds, deployments, scaling, health management and more leveraging integrated components from Kubernetes.

Consistency

Developers can work in their local test environment and be confident that application behavior will be work the same when deployed to production environments.

Cost Savings

Drive operational efficiency with AWS’ economies of scale. Pay only for the services you use with no long term or upfront commitment.

Application Platform Solutions

Integration with the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform provides a turnkey solution to connecting your applications to the cloud through the same familiar interface. The platform unites developers and IT operations on a single platform to build, deploy, and manage applications consistently across hybrid infrastructures. OpenShift's wizard based user interface guides developers through the deployment of curated, best-practice configurations, reducing the time and complexity of extending your application to the cloud.
