Red Hat Unveils Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform for Production Deployment of Secure, Certified Linux Containers, at Scale

Integrated container infrastructure platform,
powered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux, designed for scale-out
container deployments
RED HAT SUMMIT – Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's
leading provider of open source solutions, today introduced Red Hat
Atomic Enterprise Platform, an integrated infrastructure platform
designed to run, orchestrate and scale multi-container-based
applications and services. This new offering is available through
an early access program.
Based on the world’s leading enterprise Linux, Red Hat Atomic
Enterprise Platform provides the foundation for production scale
container deployments, utilizing the same core enabling
technologies as Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 3, including Docker as
a Linux container format, and Kubernetes for container
orchestration. With the addition of Red Hat Atomic Enterprise
Platform, Red Hat will offer the world's most comprehensive
integrated family of open source container-enabling platforms, from
bare-metal Red Hat Enterprise Linux, to a scale out container
orchestration platform, to full Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions – all utilizing the
same core technologies, and enabling container-based applications
to be fully portable across a hybrid cloud fabric.
Containers are quickly making inroads in today's enterprise
environment, with 67 percent of respondents in a recent Red
Hat-sponsored survey of global IT decision makers and professionals
planning production roll-outs of container-based applications over
the next two years. Such organizations are using containers to
re-imagine the way that they deliver applications to increase
efficiency, portability, scalability, and – ultimately – accelerate
time-to-solution. As organizations move toward container
implementations on both cloud-native services and traditional
applications, they need a secure and reliable foundation upon which
they can consistently run and orchestrate multi-container based
applications at scale.
Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform will provide this foundation
for executing multi-container applications. It is designed to
enable organizations to orchestrate consistently across traditional
and cloud-native applications and scale to meet changing business
demands. Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform will offer:
- A managed, scale-out cluster of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host
instances - Red Hat’s container-specific operating system built
from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, allowing for expansive deployments
of container-based applications.
- The Docker container runtime and
packaging format - to simplify the creation and deployment of
Linux containers.
- Container orchestration with
Kubernetes - which enables enterprises to deliver modern
applications composed of multiple containers orchestrated
automatically across a cluster of hosts, including software-defined
networking and storage plugins.
- Enhanced container security -
inherited from Red Hat Enterprise Linux’s military-grade security
and the inclusion of powerful security tools like SELinux.
- Cluster-wide infrastructure services
- including log aggregation and APIs for scaling applications
and services.
- An easy on-ramp to full developer
and application lifecycle management capabilities - through the
adoption of OpenShift Enterprise 3, which includes Red Hat Atomic
Enterprise Platform.
Commitment to Container Security and Certification
Security and certification of what’s inside the container
continue to be of utmost importance to enterprises working with
Linux containers, especially given that today more than 30 percent
of verified container images available for public download are
shown to contain known vulnerabilities, like Heartbleed and
Shellshock. This is a concern that Red Hat addressed with the March
launch of Red Hat container certification, a unique program for
validating container contents and provenance, giving enterprise
users confidence that their certified containers will work
seamlessly and securely across all Red Hat platforms - including
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, and now Red Hat Atomic
Enterprise Platform, and OpenShift Enterprise 3.
Availability
Red Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform is available via a Red Hat
Partner Early Access Program to existing Red Hat partners and
customers as well as prospects. To request entry to the program,

Supporting Quotes
Paul Cormier, president, Products and Technologies, Red Hat
“The true value of Linux containers does not lie with one or two
containerized applications deployed into production; rather, it’s
Linux containers at scales of hundreds or thousands that deliver
the promised innovation of flexible, composable applications. Red
Hat Atomic Enterprise Platform provides the enterprise-ready
foundation for these scale-out deployments, built on the backbone
of the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform and backed by Red
Hat’s certification and support programs.”
