Red Hat Cloud Suite

2017: Red Hat integrated a complex of technologies into Cloud Suite

On July 10, 2017 the Red Hat company submitted the version of Red Hat Cloud Suite.

Using corporate Linux distribution kit as a basis, Red Hat Cloud Suite offers the powerful scalable infrastructure of the enterprise level for container applications constructed on the basis of Red Hat OpenStack Platform and Red Hat Virtualization.

Infrastructure of Red Hat Cloud Suite is created for the problem resolution of digital transformation and support of the enterprises when using container applications. As a part of a packet the management system hybrid and the Red Hat CloudForms multicloud environments works that does Red Hat Cloud Suite by a ready-made product for application of Linux containers at all stages of lifecycle of applications, from the PC of the developer to the crucial systems in a cloud.

Properties of release Red Hat Cloud Suite

As a part of the version of Red Hat Cloud Suite of addition and an opportunity:

• Kubernetes of a corporate class – Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, one of the Red Hat Cloud Suite components. Software represents the full-function Kubernetes-platform of a corporate class for container applications which allows to create cloud applicaions of new generation and at the same time to support the available workloads, including for what stateful resources (stateful) are required.
• Red Hat CloudForms with technology of automation Ansible – integration of CloudForms with Ansible - an element of strategy of automated management of multicloud environments from Red Hat which simplifies implementation processes increases depth and width of a scope at automation of tasks of management.
• Compound (composable) OpenStack services – with their use users of the Red Hat Cloud Suite cloud environments constructed on the basis of Red Hat OpenStack Platform can precisely set the place of execution of the selected service that helps to increase operational efficiency due to scaling only of necessary services without accumulation of all capacities of a system in general.
• Possibilities of virtualization – the version of Red Hat Virtualization gives the chance to use at deployments a "thin" hypervisor (by default) and the configured configurations on RHEL with the services and software necessary for this or that workload. Administration of infrastructure improved at the expense of the web management console Cockpit hypervisor.

Linux containers open a way to digital transformation of business. And when using together with technologies of a hybrid cloud, for example, OpenStack, give irrefragable answer on a question how to conciliate the present and the future of corporate IT systems. Red Hat Cloud Suite offers technologies which allow to carry out digital transformation, without sacrificing the previous investments into IT. Among these technologies there is Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, the industry platform on the basis of the containers Kubernetes, and Red Hat Virtualization, the system of virtualization with the open code. These technologies are united in a solution package, unified and ready to deployment, which meets infrastructure requirements practically of any enterprise.

2016: Red Hat started Cloud Suite service

For April, 2016 Red Hat Cloud Suite is a set of previously integrated cloud computing of Red Hat which provides development and deployment of cloud applicaions, offering the OpenShift platform from Red Hat and also the IT infrastructure with the unified management tools supporting large-scale expansion.

Integrating the platform of containerization of the OpenShift Enterprise applications, cloud infrastructure of Red Hat OpenStack Platform and a set of management tools Red Hat CloudForms, a packet of Red Hat Cloud Suite allows to accelerate development and deployment of services and applications in private cloud environments and also to optimize already available workloads at the expense of the improved means of virtualization with the increased performance. The packet provides creation of a modern cloud environment in which application developers can create, test and unroll applications, using modern solutions on the basis of container microservices without loss of control and transparency.

Besides, the following management tools and infrastructure components are a part of a packet of Red Hat Cloud Suite:

• The unified management system of Red Hat Satellite – transactions, lifecycle, self service features, monitoring of infrastructure. Also provides management of updates, configurations and subscriptions. The new directory with self service features supports management of a vital cycle, operational tasks and financial aspects of the services unrolled by customers now.
• Service of Red Hat in monitoring of infrastructure of the customer of Red Hat Insights – data collection, analytics and informing on possible problems in work of the Red Hat OpenStack Platform, Red Hat CloudForms and Red Hat Satellite systems.
• Integrated development environment of the transferable OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat applications – assembly and deployment of the container applications in the Docker format using a kernel of the same OS that it is set per host system. As a result, applications need less resources, and their portability improves. Red Hat Cloud Suite of means of orchestration which are a part on the basis of Kubernetes technology allow the operator to manage Linux containers as a single system.
• The virtualization platform on the basis of a hypervisor of KVM – the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform provides simple migration of V2V.
• The dug-out program DWH of Red Hat Ceph Storage – is included into a packet as Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8.
