Lowering barriers to hybrid cloud adoption
Red Hat has announced an expansion of its open solutions publicly available in AWS Marketplace, a digital catalogue with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Customers can now use committed AWS spend to purchase and run Red Hat offerings directly through AWS Marketplace, which provides an easier path to digital transformation and more efficient operations, while being better able to meet dynamic market demands.
According to Gartner, “by 2025, 51% of IT spending in these four categories [application software, infrastructure software, business process services and system infrastructure] will have shifted from traditional solutions to the public cloud, compared to 41% in 2022.” Red Hat says it understands that to answer this shift, customer needs must be met wherever they exist, in the data centre, at the edge or in public clouds. In response, the company has expanded the public availability of its open hybrid cloud technologies in AWS Marketplace. Any organisation seeking to build an open foundation on the cloud can now turn to solutions delivered directly by Red Hat.
Red Hat Cloud Services in AWS Marketplace
As enterprises seek to address growing operational complexity and user demands through cloud services, the company is adding managed services that address an extensive list of hybrid cloud requirements.
Red Hat OpenShift Data Science is now generally available and publicly listed as a limited release with full general availability in the coming weeks. A fully managed cloud service that provides data scientists and developers with a consistent, powerful AI and ML platform for building intelligent applications, Red Hat OpenShift Data Science is supported on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA).
Built on Kubernetes and enabled by a robust partner ecosystem, it includes:
- Machine learning operations (MLOps) capabilities, including an expanded user interface for machine learning projects to enhance collaboration, model building and model serving among data scientists.
- NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, certified to run on Red Hat OpenShift, including key enabling technologies for the rapid deployment, management and scaling of AI workloads.
- Pre-integrated support for Pachyderm to build and scale containerised, data-driven ML pipelines with a data lineage provided by automatic data versioning. Pachyderm joins other leading AI/ML partners, including Anaconda, IBM, Intel and Starburst, in supporting Red Hat OpenShift Data Science.
In addition, Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka is also publicly available in AWS Marketplace.
Linux platform in AWS Marketplace
A flexible, open Linux foundation is critical for hybrid cloud transformation, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux providing the backbone for many organisations as they work to evolve into digital-first organisations. Multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux offerings are now available directly in AWS Marketplace, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Workstations and Red Hat Enterprise for SAP Solutions.
Additionally, pre-configured and optimised Red Hat Enterprise Linux images for specific workloads are also available.
Enterprise IT automation in AWS Marketplace
As the number, scale and diversity of IT environments grow, so does the complexity. Automation tooling is vital in helping IT teams keep pace with user demands, especially an automation platform that can be consistent across environments. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform in AWS Marketplace delivers the same automation solution trusted by tens of thousands of IT teams to public cloud environments. Rather than having to learn a new, siloed tool, automation experts can use the same capabilities and features that they already understand across the entirety of the hybrid cloud, bringing consistency and sanity to their operations.
Red Hat Application Services in AWS Marketplace
As organisations modernise their infrastructures, many IT teams have mandates to host their Java workloads in the cloud. As a leading open source Jakarta EE-compliant application server, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) offers Java developers powerful management and automation capabilities designed to improve productivity, and a lightweight architecture for building and deploying modern cloud-native applications.
A pay-as-you-go offering, customers are able to apply committed AWS spend on Red Hat solutions through AWS Marketplace, with no existing Red Hat subscription required, reducing costs and expanding their capabilities while using existing investments. This consumption model provides customers with a frictionless way to move existing applications to the cloud, while retaining support from Red Hat for updates, upgrades and servicing.
