Enterprise open source software provider Red Hat launched Red Hat OpenStack 16.2 during this year’s KubeCon+CloudNativeCon North America, with the release showcasing a tighter integration with Red Hat OpenShift, the company’s Kubernetes offering. Organizations that find themselves looking to run cloud native applications alongside legacy applications in virtual machines are the target of Red Hat’s latest release, with Red Hat offering its users both the advantages of bare metal and the scalability of Kubernetes at the same time.

The new Red Hat OpenShift on Red Hat OpenStack Platform integration allows you to have the best of both worlds,” Cohen wrote in an email.

Red Hat’s overall focus on edge deployments, as further evidenced with its latest release of Red Hat OpenShift 4.9, which brings single-node clusters to the edge, is also seen in this release, with OpenStack 16.2 adding availability zone awareness through Open Virtual Networking (OVN).

Overall, Red Hat OpenStack 16.2 empowers a hybrid strategy for end-users, both in terms of running legacy workloads along cloud native workloads, and for mixing private and public clouds, explained Cohen.
