Modernize your application development

Applications have become a crucial piece of the present and future of digital business operations, emerging as a key component of developing a competitive advantage.

Across all industries, businesses are now prioritizing their abilities to build, test, deploy, and operate applications at an accelerated pace and with a heightened focus on security, often across a range of infrastructures within a hybrid cloud environment.

Many businesses have begun using Kubernetes in recent years for this, yet the IT complexity of managing container-based applications across hybrid cloud environments poses a significant challenge.

Using Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, your business can build, deploy, and manage applications in a short amount of time across your entire hybrid cloud environment.

This managed service allows you to increase operational efficiency, enhance innovation, and build, deploy, scale, and manage applications with increased speed and focus on security—all on a single platform with the tools and services your developers need.

Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS delivers this through 3 key components: 

  • Turnkey application platform. This proven turnkey application platform includes fully integrated development and operational tooling and features and consistent interfaces and application programming interfaces (APIs).
