Learn the 8 steps to cloud-native success
What are the benefits of Red Hat Cloud Services?
Red Hat Cloud Services provides a curated set of services to simplify development, deployment, and scaling of cloud-native applications. At the same time, teams gain performance, reliability, and resiliency. With their infrastructure and application platforms handled, teams can focus on building and scaling applications that add value to the business.
Improve operational efficiency
With the global reach, talent, and experience of Red Hat OpenShift site reliability engineering (SRE) teams, organizations can use industry leading tools while reducing the high costs and learning curve associated with finding and retaining talent to manage their application platform, and reduce the risk and revenue impact of downtime and unplanned events.
For more complex scenarios, Red Hat Cloud Services can rapidly adjust capacity to allow businesses to meet changing demand requirements.
Accelerate time to value
Red Hat Cloud Services helps businesses respond to customer and competitive demands with high availability. Clusters use automated provisioning in the leading public clouds for deployment and management to get environments up and running in minutes. Application and data services can be quickly enabled to provide a robust platform for developers. There’s no need to wait on available infrastructure or to hire experts in operations to manage it all.
Innovate with hybrid cloud flexibility
Companies have a diverse set of workloads that run across data centers, clouds, and edge computing locations. Red Hat Cloud Services uses OpenShift to provide a consistent platform across all of these environments for cloud-native applications. The ability for organizations to build applications that meet these diverse needs–regardless of infrastructure–allows development teams to focus on high-value innovation, delivery of new technologies, and revenue-generating activities instead of operations.

Who will benefit from Red Hat Cloud Services?
Business leaders
Flexibility is key for businesses trying to stay competitive in times of rapid change. Business leaders need a platform that helps them respond quickly to the demands of the market. And when resources are limited, they need to put the right people to work on the right tasks. Red Hat cloud services helps them empower their developers and IT teams to deliver the experiences customers demand, rapidly and efficiently.
IT operations leaders
IT and infrastructure teams are focused on delivering on-demand, consistent, cost-effective, secure and resilient infrastructure. They need to ensure technology supports the needs of the business, while also prioritizing security, stability, and governance. A unified application platform for hybrid cloud helps them meet these goals.
Developers
Developers aim to deploy features and updates faster—and they can increase speeds when security and operations concerns (DevSecOps) are handled at the platform level. Development teams can benefit from familiar languages and tools, the latest technologies, and a fully integrated software factory, pipelines, and SDLC (software development life cycle). Cloud services can help developers focus on deploying value-add applications, rather than infrastructure.
Platform architects
Platform architects and DevOps engineers are often responsible for leading digital transformation efforts, including enabling change through workflows, tools, and pipelines. Their goal is to ensure the organization gains a competitive advantage by letting developers focus on new or improved applications, rather than infrastructure. A cloud services platform built on Red Hat helps achieve these goals.
