Support for your choice of languages, databases, frameworks, and tooling
Streamlined workflows like automated container builds, built-in CI/CD, and application deployments

Built-in service mesh for microservices

Microservices architectures can cause communication between services to become complicated to encode and manage. The OpenShift service mesh abstracts the logic of interservice communication into a dedicated infrastructure layer, so communication is more efficient and distributed applications are more resilient.

Installed and updated via Kubernetes operators
Incorporates Istio service mesh, Jaeger (for tracing), and Kiali (for visibility) on a security-focused, enterprise platform
Frees developers from being responsible for service-to-service communication

A unified Kubernetes experience on any infrastructure

Red Hat OpenShift 4 is a consistent, managed Kubernetes experience for on-premises and cloud-based deployments.

With unified ops and admin controls, workloads are decoupled from infrastructure, meaning less time spent on system maintenance, more time coding critical services.
