We are excited to announce that MuleSoft, Red Hat, and IBM have released Anypoint Runtime Fabric on Red Hat OpenShift to help organizations grow and innovate at speed with standardized integration solutions that provide flexibility and security-focused capabilities.

MuleSoft’s Anypoint Runtime Fabric and Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading enterprise Kubernetes platform, allow customers to more quickly create modern containerized solutions with flexible deployments on-premise or in any cloud while streamlining operations across the enterprise.

Mulesoft’s Anypoint Platform is a leading Integration and API management platform - enabling the most extensive digital transformations across enterprises in all industries. Anypoint Runtime Fabric (RTF) is a container service that automates the deployment and orchestration of Mule applications to bridge the gap between multi-cloud and on-premise resources and help enterprises meet changing business requirements. IBM Consulting is collaborating with Mulesoft and Red Hat OpenShift experts to effectively deliver this solution with customers.

Highlights of the solution:

• Red Hat OpenShift provides a consistent foundation for building and scaling containerized applications on a full-stack Kubernetes platform.
• Mulesoft Runtime Fabric (RTF) is a Red Hat OpenShift Certified Operator to streamline deployments on OpenShift across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This enables workload portability for Mulesoft applications, whether on supported clouds or on-premise.
