Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) now supports OpenShift Virtualization, which enables users to rapidly migrate full virtual machine images to Kubernetes pods in the cloud and automate them like containers.
Read this blog to learn why that's important; how it enables more portability of workloads and enables rapid application modernization.
What is OpenShift Virtualization?
OpenShift Virtualization is a production-ready technology that allows you to run traditional virtual machine images within containers on the OpenShift application platform. It enables the management of both virtual machines and containerized workloads in a unified environment, facilitating the migration of applications to the cloud while supporting automation and DevOps practices.
How does OpenShift Virtualization support application migration?
OpenShift Virtualization allows for a seamless migration of full virtual machine images to Kubernetes pods, enabling organizations to choose between rehosting, refactoring, or rearchitecting their applications. This flexibility reduces the risks associated with migration and allows for greater workload portability, which is essential for disaster recovery and scaling operations.
What are the key features of ROSA?
ROSA provides a managed implementation of OpenShift with a 99.95% SLA, supported by Red Hat Site Reliability Engineers (SREs). It simplifies the management of Kubernetes environments, allowing users to focus on application development while ensuring compliance and best practices. Additionally, it supports a mix of Linux and Windows virtual machines, enhancing operational flexibility.
