OVERVIEW

Red Hat© OpenShift Container Platform provides the tools Federal agencies need to develop and maintain

cloud-based applications that provide flexibility, scalability and mobility. Security is built into the platform to

control and monitor all cloud-based applications in accordance with agency protocols. OpenShift automates

application deployments and integration, to support agency objectives in the face of competing funding and

legislative priorities. Agencies can leverage existing resources to modernize architecture, maintain version

control, and collaborate with multiple agency stakeholders. This increases the supportability of agency appli-

cations while reducing maintenance and operations costs.

OpenShift Container Platform streamlines technical details and manual minutia, and

eliminates the homegrown pitfalls that can inhibit innovation and slow the pace of

application development and refinement. It is built with proven open source technologies

that allow system architects and developers to securely and efficiently establish a

contemporary, standards-based DevOps environment. Developers can quickly and easily

create applications on demand directly from the tools they use most.

OpenShift Container Platform incorporates robust industry standards to provide data

and application security. Managers can maintain full control over the entire environ-

ment, setting placement and policies to meet their agency’s best practices. Using open

source technology, agencies can modernize and standardize legacy systems with

minimal cost and effort and without restricting applications to the technology or

business roadmap of a specific vendor.

Incorporates industry open source standards docker and kubernetes to provide a robust and flexible platform for development and collaboration. The kubernetes framework has been developed and optimized through the contributions of many innovative organizations including Google. Docker has been utilized by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to modernize their applications. Capitalizing on these standards, OpenShift Container Platform delivers consistent, predictable results for legacy in-house or datacenter hosted applications, as well as new cloud-native applications and services.

Eliminates vendor lock in, allowing agency developers to work with a variety of toolsets, languages, frameworks, and databases on the same platform. Applications created on OpenShift can run wherever the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system runs, whether on public or private clouds, open stack, virtualized architectures such as VMware/Red Hat Virtualization, or bare-metal servers.

Provides a comprehensive enterprise-grade container platform to ensure both data and application security. Security features prevent tenants from compromising other applications or the underlying host. Kubernetes policy-based application control and automation allows security protocols to be tailored to the need of the agency. OpenShift provides enterprise grade persistent data storage, giving agencies the option to run stateful applications or cloud-native stateless applications securely on one platform.

Ensures a seamless transition to effective multi-cloud application development, deployment, and system health maintenance. OpenShift provides developers with an optimal platform for provisioning, building, and deploying applications and their components through the use of automated workflows. Applications running on OpenShift can easily scale to thousands of instances across hundreds of agency network nodes in seconds.

Utilizes industry best practices to ensure a modern standard of software development and IT operations. This reduces the reliance on in house expertise and secession planning to support unique in house applications. Containerization enables collaboration between operators and developers, allowing development results and best practices to be shared across sites and divisions. Developers have direct access to command line tools, a multidevice web console, and Eclipse-based integrated development environments such as Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio.

Red Hat utilizes a community-powered approach that includes an ever-expanding ecosystem of partners to provide a wide variety of integration options. OpenShift is backed by Red Hat’s award winning support, training and consulting services, including enhanced network support to broaden the scope of applications that can be deployed. OpenShift Online provides a solution for applications to be hosted in the public cloud, operated and supported by Red Hat.
