Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus

Organizations need to deliver innovative applications to fuel growth and success, but are challenged with the balance of growing the business to keep pace with rising customer expectations while optimizing costs and resources. As organizations expand their initial investments in Kubernetes and containers—beyond one or two clusters—and shift the entire software development process to the new platform, they need to rethink how to manage and protect the environment. In fact, 29% of enterprises now report having more than 10 Kubernetes clusters in production, and 74% have DevSecOps initiatives focused on modernizing the application process.
