Red Hat OpenShift 4.8 Adds Serverless Functions, Pipelines-As-CodeCategory: Database, Data, Kubernetes, artificial-intelligence
OpenShift 4.8, the latest version of Red Hat’s enterprise Kubernetes platform, launched this week, amalgamating a number of recent releases, such as OpenShift GitOps and Pipelines, and adding new features such as sandboxed containers, serverless functions, pipelines-as-code, and more. OpenShift 4.8 is based on both Kubernetes 1.21 and CRI-O (Container Runtime Interface) 1.21. The common theme to OpenShift 4.8 is enabling customers to deliver a variety of workloads, said Stu Miniman, director of market insights at Red Hat.
While OpenShift 4.8 does not introduce features that directly address these areas, Miniman said that “Often, it is a feature from two releases ago, plus a thing that we just released, and as they go together, more of the foundational pieces are all there, so that it’s easier to deploy more applications.”
With the move to general availability, Katarki said that OpenShift Pipelines also added capabilities such as auto pruning of both PipelineRuns and TaskRuns, which removes the need for administrators to do this same task via cron jobs.
