Red Hat and Google Cloud Expand Collaboration

Red Hat announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud to help organizations accelerate application modernization and cloud migrations.

This expansion introduces Red Hat OpenShift in the Google Cloud console and deeper integrations with Google Cloud services and marks the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation on Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud.

Mike Barrett, vice president and general manager, Hybrid Cloud Platforms, Red Hat: “Red Hat’s hybrid cloud vision is built on consistency—the ability to run any workload, anywhere, with the same operational model. This extended collaboration with Google Cloud further empowers organizations with the comprehensive cloud-native capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift, whether they need to accelerate application development or streamline cloud migration. Together, Red Hat and Google provide a clear, unified path for organizations to modernize their entire application portfolio, helping them manage both their traditional VMs and containerized applications on a single platform.”

Today’s announcement reinforces both companies’ shared commitment to provide a comprehensive application platform where enterprises can confidently build, deploy, manage, and scale containerized, virtualised, and AI applications on Google Cloud. Customers can operate with the assurance that both Red Hat and Google are committed to the performance, security, and continued success of applications running on Red Hat OpenShift on Google Cloud.

Faced with rising costs and increased complexity, organisations need solutions that let them migrate workloads today and modernise at their own pace. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation, a built-in capability of Red Hat OpenShift, bridges the gap between legacy infrastructure and modern innovation by unifying traditional virtual machines (VMs) with containers and serverless workloads on a consistent Kubernetes platform. Users benefit from one interface, one toolset and one set of operational practices across all workloads.

Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud is a fully managed application platform that allows customers to focus on building and scaling applications that drive their core business. Global Site Reliability Engineers and built-in automation reduce operational overhead and improve efficiencies.

To experience these new capabilities and accelerate the modernisation journey, organisations can explore Red Hat OpenShift directly within the Google Cloud console. Additionally, organisations can begin their modernisation journey at their own pace with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation on Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud.

Nirav Mehta, vice president, Product Management—Google Cloud Compute Platform, Google Cloud: “Our customers are constantly looking for ways to simplify their infrastructure and accelerate innovation without sacrificing performance. We are pleased to deepen our collaboration with Red Hat for OpenShift on Google Cloud. Customers now have a smoother path, enabling them to run both virtualized and containerized workloads consistently on Google Cloud’s global, secure, and performant infrastructure.”
