Observability in Red Hat offerings

An enterprise-ready Kubernetes container platform with full-stack automated operations to manage hybrid cloud and multicloud deployments. Increase container security with built-in capabilities for policies and controls.

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes includes capabilities that unify multicluster management, provide policy-based governance, extend application life-cycle management, and proactive cluster health and performance monitoring with Red Hat Insights.

Red Hat Insights continuously analyzes platforms and applications to predict risk, recommend actions, and track costs so enterprises can better manage hybrid cloud environments. Red Hat Insights combines Red Hat experience, knowledge with machine learning to offer the best operations experience with OpenShift.

Use cases for unified observability

OpenShift Observability helps IT admins, infrastructure owners, and site reliability engineers (SREs) understand the state of their applications and infrastructure.

Virtual machines

Run and deploy virtual machine workloads

Red Hat OpenShift with integrated observability tools provides:

  • Open standards, including OpenTelemetry, for data collection and integration.
  • Metrics, logs, and traces across both virtualized and containerized applications.
  • Prebuilt dashboards for capacity planning, performance optimization, and troubleshooting across your virtual infrastructure.

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization provides a modern platform to run and deploy new and existing virtual machine workloads.

OpenStack environments

Scale faster with OpenStack environments

Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift provides:

  • Integrated observability as a core component.
  • Comprehensive metrics collection using a fully supported Prometheus stack provided by the Cluster Observability Operator.
  • Unified visibility through the OpenShift console's Observe section.
  • Centralized log management for both virtual machines and the control plane through the cluster logging operator.

Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift helps scale faster and benefit from greater flexibility across the hybrid cloud.

Edge environments

Achieve operational consistency across edge environments

Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Device Edge including MicroShift, with integrated observability tools provides:

  • Open and lightweight approach for data collection.
  • Secure data transmission.
  • Continuous delivery of insights even when offline.
  • A holistic view of your environment from a single console.

Red Hat Device Edge provides operational consistency across workloads and devices, no matter where they are deployed.

Telecommunications environments

Transform telecommunications environments

Red Hat OpenShift with integrated observability tools provides:

  • A centralized observability solution integrating metrics, logs, and traces across the 5G infrastructure.
  • Use of OpenTelemetry for standardized data collection and integration, minimizing lock-in to proprietary solutions.
  • Light-weight observability agents tailored for resource-constrained edge devices.

Red Hat helps transform legacy networks into agile platforms for innovation from core to edge.
