 Windows has been a leading platform for application development long before Cloud Computing and Kubernetes were considered mainstream. As the need to be more agile, cloud-friendly, and container-based became a requirement for application developers, Windows wasn't always compatible, creating application silos that today make it difficult to modernize and scale operations. Windows Container Support for Red Hat OpenShift, an exciting new OpenShift operator, is changing the way you manage your heterogeneous environment, allowing you to migrate your existing Windows container-based applications onto OpenShift so you can manage them within the same framework that you manage your other Linux-based applications. This allows Windows container applications to be run, orchestrated, and managed through the same platform, OpenShift. So you can go to MarketFaster, Accelerate Application Development, avoid public cloud lock-in, enable DevOps, and reduce infrastructure and management costs. The entry point for this offering is the Windows Machine Config operator that allows you to enable Windows container workloads on OpenShift clusters. This feature allows a cluster administrator to add a Windows Worker node as a Day 2 operation with a prescribed configuration to an OpenShift cluster and enable scheduling of Windows container workloads. Using the Windows Machine Config operator, you can run Windows nodes in OpenShift, right alongside Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a Worker node. Because you can place any type of compatible Windows workload on it, developers building .NET apps can run their containerized application on Red Hat OpenShift. And all the Windows server nodes can communicate with one another, and with Linux nodes on the same cluster, ensuring a fully connected cluster network. When it comes to upgrades, you don't have to bring down all the nodes at the same time. Upgrade each node in a seamless rolling fashion with minimal disruption to your business. Now is the time to transform, evolve, and reap the benefits of Kubernetes, and Red Hat is here to help with a consistent platform for all your critical applications. Learn more. Contact us today.
