Red Hat Application Foundations
What is Red Hat Application Foundations?
Red Hat Application Foundations provides organizations with a comprehensive set of components to develop and modernize their software. The technologies in Application Foundations have been engineered to help build, deploy, and operate applications with security in mind and at scale across the hybrid cloud. Red Hat Application Foundations can be used with applications that run on premises or in the cloud and when combined with Red Hat OpenShift®, creates a platform that streamlines execution across the entire application life cycle. Red Hat Application Foundations capabilities include:
Application and API connectivity
Share, secure, distribute, and control your APIs across their entire life cycle
Data transformation
Develop and manage services with container-native integration tools
Service composition and orchestration
Accelerate the development and scalability of connected applications and services
Real-time messaging and data streaming
Create, discover, and connect to real-time data streams to unlock event-driven and data analytics patterns
Identity management and access control
Secure web applications, APIs, and services with Keycloak based on popular standards such as SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, and OAuth 2.0
Java application frameworks
Provide developers with a set of products, tools, and components for building and maintaining cloud-native applications using lightweight runtimes and frameworks (like Quarkus) for cloud architectures
Business Constraint Solver
Deliver more effective plans and schedules by solving optimization problems in your applications and services
Java Application Servers*
Provide developers with the capabilities to deploy Java EE applications that simply integrate with the existing Java EE services such as databases, queues, and security
Red Hat Fuse product End of Life (EOL) will occur on June, 30 2024 at which time an Extended Lifecycle subscription will be required for customers who wish to continue support. The Red Hat build of Apache Camel, included as part of a Red Hat Application Foundations subscription, is the solution going forward for enterprise integration needs.
Red Hat Cloud Services help you get there faster
With Red Hat Cloud Services, organizations can choose which parts of their application platform they want to manage internally versus having Red Hat host manage for them. Cloud Services allow organizations to quickly add new capabilities to their applications or offload responsibilities so they can focus on high value initiatives.
