Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud
Overview
Building and managing a container and Kubernetes environment can be difficult, as many IT organizations lack the skills and staff needed to maintain their environment themselves. Many prefer to focus on developing and modernizing applications rather than creating, updating, and administering their container infrastructure.
Red Hat® OpenShift® Dedicated is a managed application platform hosted on Google Cloud. With OpenShift Dedicated, developers can focus on what matters most, stay competitive, and outpace rising customer expectations without worrying about managing the underlying infrastructure.

This streamlined experience lets developers see only the information and configurations they care about.
- Operators: Developers can integrate trusted third-party services throughout the operator framework, allowing for rapid installation and frequent updates.
- Integrated developer tools: Developers can directly access command-line tools, a multidevice web console, and Eclipse-based integrated development environments (IDEs), which can lead to greater productivity.
