Product details
Turnkey application platform
Rely on a turnkey application platform with built-in CI/CD, monitoring and developer tooling to get started quickly and offload the ongoing management of your applications. Explore Red Hat® OpenShift® Operators.
Global SRE expertise
Reduce operational complexity with automated deployment and management, backed by a global Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team. Focus on building and scaling applications, including AI-enabled apps, rather than managing infrastructure.
Native Azure service
Access Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift on-demand from the Azure console. The native service is jointly engineered, operated and supported by Microsoft and Red Hat – and billed directly through Microsoft. Seamlessly integrate with other Azure native tools.
Security and compliance
Maintain compliance regulations and gain confidence in controls over data access, storage, and security vulnerabilities. Enhance protection for sensitive workloads with confidential containers. Azure Red Hat OpenShift is also generally available on Microsoft Azure for U.S. Government.
Streamlined hybrid cloud deployment
Gain a production-ready application platform that many enterprises already use on-premises today, making it easier and faster to shift workloads to Azure as business needs change.
Address hardware constraints
Access GPU capacity on-demand with GPU-enabled Azure VMs. Offload overflow workloads to Azure to free up capacity for critical workloads.
Optimize cloud costs with Azure Red Hat OpenShift
Azure Red Hat OpenShift helps you spend smarter on compute and cloud commitments.
Consolidate workloads
OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat OpenShift unifies VMs and containers on one platform. Consolidate workloads, use compute more efficiently and run fewer underlying VMs to reduce cloud infrastructure spend.
Architect efficiently
Reduce cloud infrastructure costs, improve operational efficiency, and enhance security with hosted control planes (public preview). This architecture hosts the control plane in an Azure service account, removing control plane ownership from the customer.
Maximize your Azure investment
Apply your Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment to Azure Red Hat OpenShift and get a unified bill for both the Red Hat OpenShift service and Azure infrastructure. Gain the flexibility to choose pay-as-you-go pricing or 1 to 3-year reserved instances.
Need capacity without a datacenter expansion? Burst GPU-enabled workloads or overflow to Azure when on-premise capacity is constrained with the same Red Hat OpenShift skills and tooling you know. Learn how Azure Red Hat OpenShift addresses hardware constraints.
Benefits
Deliver applications quickly using a turnkey application platform.
One platform for multiple workloads
Operationalize AI in less time
OpenShift AI on Azure Red Hat OpenShift offers a stable and consistent platform so that data science and DevOps teams can collaborate effectively from experimentation to production.
Fine-tune models
Customize and fine-tune models with private, enterprise data to cost-effectively deliver quality models and reach your business goals.
Integrate MLOps and DevOps workflows
Implement continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) for data science pipelines and integrate them with DevOps pipelines so developers can connect models to applications.
Choose AI partners
Choose from Red Hat’s certified partners like NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, and other ISVs for AI accelerators, data ingestion and storage, engineering, governance, and more.
Migrate and modernize virtual machines
OpenShift Virtualization, included with Azure Red Hat OpenShift, lets you migrate and manage virtual machines (VMs) and containers on a cloud-native platform.
Migrate your VMs
Simplify VM migration from legacy platforms with the migration toolkit for virtualization and Red Hat Ansible® Automation Platform, reducing downtime, risk, and complexity for an efficient transition.
Simplify hybrid fleet control
Centralize visibility and operations across your environment. Using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, manage VM lifecycles, enforce compliance policies, and streamline disaster recovery across hybrid and multicloud clusters.
Modernize for the future
Unify VMs and containers on one platform, and unlock a path to AI and cloud-native development while ensuring consistency across on-premise, cloud, and edge environments.
Align with modern technologies and business needs
Maintain, rehost, re-platform, or refactor existing apps at your own pace. Develop new cloud-native apps and deploy workloads like IBM Maximo Application Suite and IBM CloudPak for Integration—with a single platform.
Improve agility and scalability
Be ready to respond quickly to increasing workload demands and changing customer needs.
Reduce operational complexity
Spend less time maintaining complex and outdated software, and more time on competitive innovation.
Built-in security
Modernize with a security-focused platform with features like confidential containers, OpenShift sandboxed containers, and managed identity and workload identity.

How is Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift priced?
Azure Red Hat OpenShift consists of two components: Azure infrastructure costs and Azure Red Hat OpenShift service fees.
Azure infrastructure costs
Azure infrastructure costs include worker nodes which are billed at Linux® VM pricing. For Azure Red Hat OpenShift (standard architecture), infrastructure costs also include control plane nodes. Compute, networking, and storage costs are billed according to usage.
Azure Red Hat OpenShift service fee
The Azure Red Hat OpenShift service fee is based on the number of worker nodes and instance type.
On-demand or annual contract options are available. Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) applies. Learn more about using your committed spend and optimizing cloud costs.
