4 benefits of using Red Hat solutions on Google Cloud

To keep up with rapidly changing business needs and customer demands, organizations need to develop and deploy applications with speed, flexibility, and reliability, which are best facilitated by a hybrid cloud or multicloud strategy.

These are 4 ways Red Hat and Google Cloud can help your organization be more efficient and optimize hybrid cloud and multicloud environments for the future. Red Hat® solutions available through Google Cloud Marketplace include Red Hat Enterprise Linux®, Red Hat OpenShift®, and Red Hat Ansible® Automation Platform.

With open hybrid cloud and multicloud solutions available from Red Hat, your organization can harness benefits in its Day 1 and Day 2 operations.

Using Red Hat solutions on Google Cloud provides:

• A consistent experience across hybrid cloud and multicloud built on open source so that you can efficiently scale your IT environment as needs grow.
• A foundation to modernize, develop, deploy, manage, and scale applications consistently across infrastructure with cloud-native development capabilities to help build high-quality applications in less time.
• The ability to deploy Red Hat solutions directly from Google Cloud Marketplace with the interoperability needed to take full advantage of Google’s data cloud, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), and data analytics services.
• A security-focused cloud environment with tools to build, manage, and automate security processes across infrastructure, application stack, and application life cycles, built-in security features and profiles, and compliance with stringent industry security requirements.
• A high level of automation that can be conveniently scaled without the added complexity of managing the underlying infrastructure.

Using preintegrated solutions, unified billing, and flexible payment options, your organization can speed up digital transformation with streamlined cloud operations and controllable costs.

Purchasing Red Hat solutions through Google Cloud Marketplace allows you to:

• Streamline your cloud operations using integrated deployment of Red Hat solutions with Google Cloud for hybrid cloud and multicloud projects.
• Add new capabilities via integrations between Red Hat and Google Cloud products and services without difficulty.
• Take advantage of an accelerated, repeatable, and scalable procurement and fulfillment process by purchasing solutions from Red Hat—one of Google’s preferred vendors—to bypass the usual internal vendor review process.
• Monitor and mitigate costs with a single invoice from Google for all solutions purchased through its marketplace and flexible billing models.   
• Control costs further with efficient cloud pricing, right-sizing tools, optimized virtual machine types, and unified operations and management.

Use the capabilities of Red Hat solutions on Google Cloud to optimize your processes to free up your talent to focus on innovation or use automation to fill any existing talent gaps.

Support your team’s talent with the capabilities to:

• Automate Google Cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intraservice orchestration, and more.
