ROSA by Red Hat and AWS simplifies hybrid cloud modernization

As a joint service offered by Red Hat Inc. and Amazon Web Services Inc., Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS simplifies running OpenShift container orchestration in the cloud. ROSA attains this by providing a fully managed, integrated and scalable Kubernetes platform. 

By combining the enterprise-grade capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift with the robust and scalable infrastructure of AWS, ROSA enables businesses to innovate faster and more reliably in a cloud-native world, according to Manasi Jagannatha (pictured, left), head of strategic partnerships for business applications, Linux and containers at AWS. 

AWS’s Manasi Jagannatha and Red Hat’s Bria Hube talk to theCUBE about how ROSA simplifies operations in a hybrid cloud environment.

“I’d love to walk you through the journey we’ve had with Red Hat,” Jagannatha said. “We started building in 2008, and then in 2022 we launched ROSA, which is a managed service built and engineered together with Red Hat and AWS. Customers use RHEL, ROSA, Ansible and JBoss, all that are available today on the AWS Marketplace, and that provides three benefits for our customers. One is procurement, and then the other piece is integration with AWS Services. The last piece is the ability to have custom pricing and the ability to have a single bill and manage your hybrid workloads.”

Jagannatha and Bria Huber (right), global cloud alliances leader at Red Hat, spoke with theCUBE’s Rebecca Knight and Rob Strechay at Red Hat Summit, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how ROSA enables a consistent hybrid cloud experience. (* Disclosure below.)

How ROSA takes center stage in enterprises’ modernization journeys

ROSA simplifies workload virtualization by offering a managed, scalable, secure and consistent Kubernetes platform that unifies the management of both containers and virtual machines on AWS. This enables enterprises to modernize applications incrementally, optimize resource use and improve developer productivity across hybrid environments, according to Jagannatha.

“We have Johnson Controls, a customer who’s in the business of maintaining and building smart buildings,” she said. “What they did was they have legacy VMs on-prem and they are looking to innovate faster. Through their modernization journey, they said, ‘We are going to use ROSA, Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, to modernize our hybrid workloads.’ They were able to get past that dilemma of ‘Do we modernize now or do we wait?’”

The Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform exemplifies the hybrid IT narrative by offering a flexible and scalable automation solution that seamlessly integrates traditional on-premises environments with modern cloud and edge infrastructures. This capability significantly enhances hybrid cloud use cases, according to Huber.

“Ansible is one powerful tool, especially when you think about how you can host the control plane on AWS and then manage your endpoints anywhere,” she said. “It really does epitomize this hybrid story. If you were with us at re:Invent, we announced that we’re a launch partner with AWS in the Buy with AWS program. This now enables us to truly have this product led growth strategy where our customers can find us and then click a button and they could go right to AWS Marketplace to consume us.”
