Announcing Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus for Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS on AWS Marketplace

Organizations using Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) are increasingly seeking ways to extend their platform’s capabilities with enterprise-grade security and data services. 

Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus, is now available for ROSA on the AWS Marketplace. By consolidating advanced multicluster management, security, and data storage into a single procurement option, we’re making it easier for you to scale your cloud operations while drawing down your committed AWS spend. Once you deploy the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) hub on ROSA, you can use this consumption-based offering to manage all your OpenShift cloud services and pay only for what you use.

What’s included in the bundle

The OpenShift Platform Plus bundle integrates these products directly onto your cloud services environment: 

• Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes: Application life cycle management and policy management across multiple Kubernetes clusters.
• Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes: Kubernetes-native security that provides governance and supports compliance through the entire application life cycle.
• Red Hat Quay: A scalable, private, and secure central registry to provide enterprise capabilities compared to standard or public registries.
• Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation: Offers instant access to file, block, and object data services for all workloads and delivers automated tiering and optimization for object data.

Unifying operations and procurement 

By consolidating these advanced solutions into a single AWS Marketplace offering, you gain major operational and financial benefits:

• Cost efficiency: A pay-as-you-go model where you pay only for what is actually used, reducing overpayment for unused subscriptions or idle capacity.
• Simplified billing: You benefit from the same underlying on-demand billing mechanism as ROSA itself to receive one bill directly from AWS. You can also use your AWS committed spend allotment and monitor natively inside the AWS Cost Explorer.
• Flexibility and scalability: You can dynamically scale your consumption up or down based on your real-time business needs with no long-term commitments. Or, you can get a 33% discount if you opt for an annual contract commitment.
• Comprehensive stack integration: The bundle adds multicluster security and  management, integrated data management, and a global container registry to ROSA workloads. 

The entire bundle is backed by the Premium tier of Red Hat Support. This offers platform teams direct access to experienced support engineers during standard business hours, alongside 24x7 global coverage for any high-severity, business-critical issues.
