Features & benefits
Built-in security capabilities
Monitor running workloads for security issues or threats with system-level data collection and analysis as well as more than 60 security policies that can be applied and enforced throughout the entire application life cycle. Gain a single, universal identity framework for all of your workloads—across hybrid and multicloud environments—with zero trust workload identity manager, available as an Operator exclusively with OpenShift Platform Plus.
Cluster-wide data management
Persistent storage for all of your stateful applications and cluster services. Performance at scale for data-intensive workloads, with support for all data protocols (file, block, object), and key data services such as data efficiency, resiliency, security, governance, and discovery.
Consistent operations
Apply consistent operational policies for security, configuration, compliance, and governance to Red Hat OpenShift clusters across on-premise and cloud infrastructures. Use Argo CD Agent in Red Hat OpenShift GitOps to consolidate distributed Argo CD installations into a single view, enabling operations teams to centralize application delivery and GitOps oversight.
Developer tools
A library of supported tools, languages, databases, and frameworks are included to help you build, deploy, and run your applications. The operator framework delivers integrations for the latest developer tools tested and verified to run with Red Hat OpenShift.
End-to-end management
A uniform interface for both administrators and developers provides consistent management regardless of where the platform is installed—on-premise, in the cloud, or at the edge.
Support for DevSecOps
Apply a DevSecOps approach by integrating declarative security into developer tooling and workflows. Use Kubernetes-native controls to mitigate threats and enforce security policies that minimize operational risk to your applications.
