Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) not only modernized your digital environment , but it also helps your organization to run smoothly on AWS cloud and simplify hybrid cloud management providing a compelling solution for scalable and flexible containerized applications. In this blog, I delve into the synergy between OpenShift and AWS and explore how Trilio, a leading data protection platform, adds significant value to this powerful duo.
Top 7 Benefits of OpenShift on AWS
Container Orchestration:
The underlying OpenShift Kubernetes orchestration engine for as its underlying automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. This makes it possible for developers to focus on building and improving their applications rather than dealing with infrastructure complexities.
Reliability and Availability:
AWS data centers are located worldwide making it very dependable. OpenShift (ROSA) takes advantage of the AWS global infrastructure ensuring that applications hosted on the platform are resilient and available, even in the face of hardware failures or other issues.
Integration with AWS Services:
The integration of OpenShift with various AWS services , such as storage, data bases, networking, and security services ,enables users to take advantage of AWS’s extensive service portfolio while using OpenShift as the container orchestration layer.
Flexibility:
From an architectural point of view, you can leverage AWS services like Amazon EC2 for virtual machines, Amazon RDS for databases, and Amazon S3 for storage, tailoring the infrastructure to meet your application’s specific requirements.
Security:
The combination of OpenShift (ROSA) and AWS provides built-in security features for containerized applications, and a range of security services and features to protect cloud resources.
Competitive Pricing:
Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) is a managed OpenShift offering integrated with AWS . Many of the cases I have seen show that AWS total cost of ownership is one of the lowest, if not the lowest in the market . The total cost of OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) consists of two components: ROSA service fees and AWS infrastructure fees. For details this is a good link to review.
Introducing ROSA with Hosted Control Planes (HCP)
Here at Trilio would like to showcase that Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) is now offering a new deployment model, ROSA with Hosted Control Planes (HCP), which provides several benefits over the traditional ROSA deployment model. With ROSA with HCP, the control plane nodes are hosted and managed by Red Hat in a dedicated account, separate from your AWS account. This new model offers several advantages, including:
Reduced Costs: By eliminating the need to manage and provision control plane infrastructure, ROSA with HCP can help you lower your overall operating expenses.
Faster Cluster Creation: The dedicated control plane architecture in ROSA with HCP allows for significantly faster cluster creation times.
Improved Version Upgrade Flexibility: You can now schedule OpenShift version upgrades for the control plane and the worker node machine pools independently, giving you greater flexibility and control over your upgrades.
Enhanced Security: ROSA with HCP uses AWS managed policies to provide ROSA IAM service roles with narrowly-scoped permissions, reducing the risk of security vulnerabilities.
Seamless Integration: ROSA with HCP seamlessly integrates with other AWS services, making it easy to manage your OpenShift clusters alongside your other cloud resources.
Overall, ROSA with HCP is an ideal choice for organizations looking to reduce costs, accelerate cluster deployment, enhance version upgrade flexibility, and improve security while maintaining the benefits of Red Hat OpenShift on AWS.
