Red Hat and Google Cloud offer a comprehensive joint portfolio that helps organizations meet changing business demands by modernizing existing operations and building infrastructure that supports future needs. Discover 5 benefits of using Red Hat® solutions on Google Cloud to advance modernization and accelerate AI innovation—all while counting it towards Google Cloud spending commitments.

1. A clear path to application modernization

  • Unify virtual machines (VMs), cloud-native applications, and AI-powered applications on a single platform that supports all workloads—preserving existing IT investments while accelerating modernization.
  • Build and deploy modern workloads on a production-ready platform that helps developers efficiently monitor, manage, and scale cloud-native applications across all IT environments.
  • Innovate confidently with consistency across infrastructures, applications, and software/hardware ecosystems.

2. Accelerated AI innovation in the cloud

  • Increase AI developer efficiency with a platform designed to handle the most demanding workloads.
  • Improve cost efficiency with preoptimized models that are less expensive to train, tune, and run; dynamic, scalable infrastructure; and powerful, cost-effective inference across hybrid cloud environments.
  • Reduce AI complexity with a consistent platform for deploying and optimizing models across hybrid cloud environments, integration into existing autoscaling setups, and tooling for automating application deployment and model lifecycle management.
  • Support developers with the ability to use the models of their choice; the flexibility to train and deploy AI workloads across on-premise, cloud, and edge environments; and distributed AI inference at scale.

3. A built-in, layered security approach across environments

  • Rely on a security-focused, cloud-optimized operating foundation, with ready-to-run-images, preconfigured for high performance on Google Cloud, a layered offering of built-in security features, security profiles tested by Red Hat and Google Cloud, security standards certification, and a trusted software supply chain.
  • Build security capabilities into the complete application lifecycle and across the infrastructure layer—from integrating security into continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to isolating applications and environments within a cluster and more.
  • Automate security enforcement across hybrid environments to increase efficiency, reduce human error, and enforce consistency across a complete organization.
  • Improve visibility, security enforcement, and hybrid cloud management with integration into Google Cloud Observability using OpenTelemetry and Google Cloud command-line interface (CLI).

4. A comprehensive solution portfolio for modern IT

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux® for Google Cloud delivers a security-focused foundation with ready-to-run-images, preconfigured for high performance and integrated with Google Cloud infrastructure and management tools.
  • Red Hat Ansible® Automation Platform on Google Cloud provides enterprise-wide automation with full integration into Google Cloud services and the complete Ansible collection for Google Cloud.
  • Red Hat OpenShift® Dedicated on Google Cloud offers a fully managed Red Hat OpenShift experience with full integration into native Google Cloud services to enhance productivity across hybrid cloud environments.
  • Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (available on OpenShift Dedicated or self-managed OpenShift on Google Cloud) provides streamlined migration to a unified platform with a clear path to modernization.
  • Red Hat AI Enterprise combines the benefits of Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat OpenShift AI, and Red Hat AI Inference on a single, unified platform available on Google Cloud Marketplace for dedicated AI workloads.
    • Red Hat OpenShift AI (available through Red Hat AI Enterprise) helps organizations manage the lifecycle of predictive and gen AI models at scale across hybrid cloud environments.
    • Red Hat AI Inference (available through Red Hat AI Enterprise) offers optimized model inference across IT environments, with support for any gen AI model, on any AI accelerator, in any cloud environment.
  • Red Hat Lightspeed Agent for Google Cloud is an agent-to-agent validated system designed to help administrators and site reliability engineering (SRE) teams manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Google Cloud.

5. Simplified procurement and unified support

Use existing Google Cloud Commits to fund Red Hat software migrations and net-new workloads, and maintain operational consistency and simplified procurement through a single, consolidated Google Cloud invoice.

Rely on comprehensive joint support to help efficiently solve issues and reduce operational costs.
