What is Openstack?

Developers and technologists from around the world collaborate on OpenStack to create tools for building and managing public and private clouds. OpenStack’s development, distribution, and adoption are overseen by the OpenStack Foundation, an independent body providing shared resources

Linux and OpenStack—better together

OpenStack built for your IT demands

With Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, you get all the benefits you expect from Red Hat Enterprise Linux, plus the fastest-growing cloud infrastructure platform from OpenStack—both co-engineered to work seamlessly together. Because OpenStack is dependent on its underlying Linux operating system for everything from service operation and access, to hardware resources, to system performance, stability, and security, Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform delivers the next-generation core IaaS and secondary IaaS+ infrastructure for your private or public cloud.

Leading OpenStack functionality and performance

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform enhances OpenStack with advanced features needed for cloud environments. OpenStack’s tight integration with its underlying Linux operating system is critical in deploying a stable, high-performing cloud environment. This integration gives you key advantages, including:

Proper installation and long-term stability with integrated tools, like the intuitive graphical installer with automated health checks for all node types.
Simplified daily operations and policy-driven orchestration, including virtual and bare-metal resource provisioning.
Anytime data access with system-wide high availability (including network and compute nodes) with automated fencing.
Improved workload performance with the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor, using enhanced Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) features.
Maximum network performance with Open vSwitch tunneling and support for single-root I/O virtualization networking and IPv6 networking.
High data availability and easy backups using hardened storage services for block, image, and object storage. Also, use Red Hat Ceph Storage* for a fully redundant, highly available datastore.

Open is what we do

It’s in our DNA to provide open, flexible, and interoperable solutions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform gives you the choice and freedom to integrate with your existing datacenter infrastructure, as well as valuable solutions from both Red Hat and its partners—now and in the future.

Linux and OpenStack community leadership

We’re a long-time leader in the Linux and OpenStack communities. Not just because we’re a top code contributor, but because we also provide stewardship and direction to their open source projects. Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform gives you a competitive advantage by being able to provide insight, guidance, and influence over feature development within these communities. As OpenStack rapidly evolves, you can be confident that your cloud infrastructure will continue to evolve with it.
