5 benefits of using Red Hat solutions on Amazon Web Services

To keep up with rapid change, organizations need a foundation for developing and deploying modern applications—including AI workloads—with a focus on security across hybrid cloud environments. Discover how Red Hat and Amazon Web Services (AWS) help organizations optimize their hybrid cloud, support AI innovation, and more.

Create a consistent hybrid cloud foundation with tight integration, built on jointly developed, cloud-optimized platforms from Red Hat and AWS.

• Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® for AWS provides a consistent hybrid cloud foundation, with a common, consolidated runbook for all operations and the elastic capacity of AWS infrastructure.
• Red Hat OpenShift® Service on AWS provides a managed application platform that standardizes how all workloads are developed, deployed, managed, and scaled in all IT environments including containers, virtual machines (VMs), and AI-powered workloads.
• Red Hat Ansible® Automation Platform from AWS helps organizations unify management of their hybrid cloud environments with integrated automation capabilities that span all domains, while improving scalability, minimizing human error, and mitigating risk with automated configuration and deployment.
• Each solution offers certified compatibility and optimized performance on AWS, the cloud capacity and scalability of dynamic infrastructure from AWS, and the reliability that comes with a long-standing, stable, and innovation-focused partnership dating back to 2008.

Migrate VMs at scale to a unified platform for all application workloads while preparing for future innovation with optimized application modernization capabilities.

• Running Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS provides a unified platform for both VMs and containers, with built-in migration tooling and full integration into Ansible Automation Platform to improve the efficiency of VM migration and management.
• Ansible Automation Platform from AWS simplifies migration of VMs at scale by automating complex processes, reducing manual intervention, and boosting consistency across environments with minimal downtime.
• Running OpenShift Virtualization with Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS helps modernize virtualized workloads with the capabilities of containerized applications, such as simplified load balancing, microsegmentation, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and resource telemetry, as well as full integration into modern IT services from AWS.

Innovate on a consistent, scalable foundation with highly available, AI-optimized cloud infrastructure from AWS to minimize costs and accelerate time to value.

• Red Hat and AWS provide a complete AI solution portfolio with integrated tooling, the ability to use any AI models, support for all current AI use cases and workloads, a deep partner ecosystem of validated solutions to extend value, managed cloud services with expert support, and the flexibility to adapt to future needs.
• Red Hat AI Enterprise, available on AWS, is an integrated AI platform for deploying and managing efficient and cost-effective models, agents, and applications across environments, with the flexibility to support any model, hardware, or environment.
• Red Hat AI Inference on purpose-built AWS chipsets, including AWS Inferentia2 and AWS Trainium3, delivers optimized inference across hybrid cloud environments. This allows AWS customers to continue benefiting from existing investments and optimize costs as they scale AI into production.

Bring together the security capabilities of Red Hat and AWS to create a layered, proactive, and automated security approach across an organization.

• Red Hat and AWS offer built-in security features and security profiles—all tested and verified by Red Hat and AWS for all new versions of Red Hat products on AWS infrastructure—which help improve focus on security, mitigate risk, and maintain compliance across a hybrid cloud environment.
• Ansible Content Collections—provided by Red Hat and tested with AWS—automates the enforcement of security policies across hybrid cloud environments.
• Red Hat Lightspeed, a built-in feature of many joint Red Hat and AWS solutions, offers proactive security monitoring and management tools that help identify and remediate issues and threats before they happen.
