Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.3
On July 15, 2021, Red Hat, an open source provider, announced the release of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.3, an updated version of the Kubernetes enterprise-class management system. Optimizes management and scalability flexibility for hybrid and multi-cloud environments by integrating with Red Hat Anonymous Automation Platform. This enables you to optimize and accelerate management, automation, and security while building a state-of-the-art enterprise IT environment ready for hybrid clouds.
According to the company, the introduction of cloud technologies in the enterprise, along with traditional IT infrastructures, optimizes the complexity of management, since each of these environments uses its own set of tools, processes and strategies. Organizations are therefore committed to integrating the cloud and traditional components of enterprise IT at the network, storage, and security levels. Integration of Red Hat Anonymous Automation Platform and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management optimizes automation and consistency in managing cloud clusters, virtual machines, and traditional IT infrastructures with optimized coordination tools and mechanisms.
When you want to associate a container environment with a traditional environment, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management allows you to automatically run the necessary Anonymous Playbooks scripts before or after you perform key lifecycle operations, such as creating applications and clusters. This optimizes the automation of tasks such as configuring networks, connecting applications to databases, creating load balancers and firewalls, and updating ITSM IT service management systems. Using a special Resource Operator based on Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes statements encapsulating knowledge of the functioning of systems and applications in code, Advanced Cluster Management can call the Anonymous Automation Platform to perform the necessary actions outside the Kubernetes cluster. As a result, a single automated workflow is created that covers the operation of Red Hat OpenShift environments and traditional IT systems.
The active distribution of Anonymous Automation Platform, which as of July 2021 has more than 7 million active nodes worldwide and is expanding using Red Hat Insights for Anonymous Automation Platform, creates the prerequisites for the penetration of automation into other areas of the business. This helps organizations prepare for the era of open hybrid cloud, where public cloud services, private cloud infrastructures, and traditional IT systems dynamically combine to meet evolving business challenges.
Red Hat OpenShift, the industry-leading enterprise-class Kubernetes platform, is a component for building a hybrid cloud with a different level of flexibility. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management allows you to gain value from such systems by expanding and scaling Red Hat OpenShift clusters using next-generation features, such as unified system initialization on managed clusters, on-premises, on the bare iron, or in public clouds.
To reduce management complexity and maintain the capability of the enterprise-class Kubernetes platform, the updated version of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management 2.3 allows the import of Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) clusters and clusters OpenShift into the management system. servers IBM Power Systems Earlier such support was realized for Kubernetes clusters on IBM Cloud Microsoft Azure IBM the platforms Red Hat OpenShift on (ROKS), Red Hat OpenShift (ARO), Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated (OSD) and system Z. Also initialization of local (on-premises) clusters of Red Hat OpenShift on Red Hat OpenStack directly from Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management is supported.
The updated version of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management also enables discovery and import of cloud.redhat.com cloud clusters, offering updated capabilities and reducing the proportion of manual operations in cluster management. Hibernation automatically sleeps unused clusters to save resources and optimize cloud costs.
The integration of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management with Red Hat Insights for Red Hat OpenShift helps IT professionals get up-to-date information about cluster status and take recommended proactive actions that build on Red Hat OpenShift global telemetry and Red Hat expertise.
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management is a fully open source product based on open source development projects such as Argo CD, Open Policy Agent, and Submariner.
OpenShift GitOps - Extends the capabilities of Argo CD to integrate all components of the enterprise IT system in order to make more informed decisions in large complex environments. Working in tandem with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management policies, OpenShift GitOps allows you to solve configuration management and compliance problems in such environments in closer connection with CI/CD processes, in particular, to resolve application problems using Argo CD topological views.
Available in the tech preview version, Submariner integration offers advanced multi-cluster networking, optimized application component deployment, and network requirements.
Advanced support for Open Policy Agent/gatekeeper, including 20-30 OPA/gatekeeper policies for configuration management and compliance.
These capabilities help IT operators meet configuration management and regulatory compliance challenges, and optimize control and prevention through better policy enforcement. In addition, IT professionals can create their own management policies and processes within Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management that meet the specifics of corporate requirements and tasks.
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.3 will be publicly available in the coming weeks.

Release of the public version of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes
On August 17, 2020, Red Hat announced the release of a publicly available version of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, which supplemented the Red Hat management product line for the hybrid cloud and was designed to facilitate the expansion and scaling of Red Hat OpenShift enterprise systems through the use of enterprise-class management tools.
According to the company, application modernization is one of the main IT priorities for August 2020, and Red Hat OpenShift offers a scalable platform for such transformation, built on the basis of Kubernetes, the de facto infrastructure standard for modern applications. As you know, management tools and processes designed for physical servers and systems are not very suitable for virtualized environments.
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes was originally designed to support the customer in the deployment of container-based applications at all stages of maturity, from the first trial launches of next-generation workloads to their large-scale use in industrial operation. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes helps solve both priorities, such as managing multicluster configurations, and lays the foundation for the future, offering technologies such as policy management and compliance control.
With clusters in both the enterprise data center and public clouds, management fragmentation often occurs when each environment uses its own set of tools. Several unrelated management consoles and UI interfaces, separate account systems - all these and other similar things multiply the number of manual operations that, as you know, are fraught with human errors and, as a result, lead to unnecessary downtime, security risks and violations of regulatory requirements.
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes removes these problems at management of hybrid clouds, providing the uniform centralized management of all Kubernetes-clusters of the organization on base Red Hat OpenShift developed as in own DPC, so in a public cloud or on cloud platforms Amazon Web Services Google Cloud, IBM and. Microsoft Azure Covering everything from enterprise data centers and cloud platforms to systems, peripheral computing Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes enables you to scale cloud applications in the hybrid cloud as you move from development to industrial operations and do so completely centrally.
With the deployment of organizational clusters in multiple clouds and the increasing complexity of management, there is increased security mismatch, compounded by the need to monitor software components. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes policies automatically configure managed components in the hybrid cloud, enabling IT professionals to better meet industry and regulatory standards. Policies can be automatically applied to each cluster that is created when you scale, allowing you to expand your organization's IT systems and applications.
Traditional application lifecycle management techniques do not always fit with the changing needs of today's workloads. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes offers appropriate open standards for this task, allowing you to integrate cloud applications and services into existing CI/CD pipelines of continuous integration and development.
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes in August 2020 is already available for download.
